“Chekhov’s picture of the scavenging nature of the celebrity writer and actor is imperishable.” --The Observer (England)

The Seagull
by Anton Chekhov

Directed By Erik Friedman

The facade of laughter veils a well of sadness in The Seagull, perhaps the pinnacle of achievement for iconic Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. When an aging star of the Russian stage and her companion, a famous and popular writer, descend on her country estate, chaos and heartbreak ensue. The romances of attraction and creation contrast and collide in a comedy where love, money, betrayal, and the quest for literary supremacy simultaneously produce effervescent humor and penetrating melancholy.
