Chekov the playwright or Chekov the Star Trek character?

My housemate thinks this is actually why some of the people were able to get it.

I was slightly surprised that they couldn't get it with the letters, but I don't how many people could readily come up with any playwrights, let alone a non-English one. I mean, if it was a famous French playwright, would it have been any easier for them?

Moliere! (although I think I'd be hard pressed to name another one)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure "famous playwright" is a non-starter for most people.

As lost as Luke was on that task, I was impressed with how patient his mom remained. She knew he was uber-frustrated and she didn't whine about not being able to help him or anything.

Clue #1:

Like Dumas (fils), one writer on the list also had at least one of his plays adapted into a famous opera.
