| Abstract |
Teffi's theatrical work has not been investigated to any great extent. As Teffi was dubbed the ‘female Chekhov’, I aim to explore similarities with Chekhov's dramatic work by comparing two of her early miniatures with two Chekhov vaudevilles in order to find out how he may have influenced her and where instead she seeks her own way. A more general analysis of an early full-length Teffi drama coupled with a comparison of that work with the features of Chekhov's major dramas are offered as a conclusion. |
