Bely, Blok, Sologub, Annensky, and their contemporaries may be best known for writing influential verse and narrative prose. However, they also authored Symbolist plays, thus collectively adding to a revolutionary new Russian performance style. This is an extensive anthology of their works, including several first English play translations, detailed prefaces, and critical essays on the theatre.
