Anton Chekhov's The Seagull is widely considered the first of his four great plays. And now, with David Hare's translation, we blend old theatre with modern text. On a quiet Russian country estate, a group of artists and dreamers gather – and everything falls apart. A struggling young writer, a fading celebrity actress, an ambitious wannabe star and a relentless acclaimed novelist get tangled in a web of jealousy, heartbreak and creative frustration. The Seagull is a sharp, emotionally raw look at what happens when love isn't returned, success slips away and art gets messy. It's Chekhov – real, relatable and more relevant than ever.
