by ANTON CHEKHOV

In 1896, on a lakeside estate outside Moscow, an anxious young writer stages his experimental first play, starring the young woman he adores. Among the audience are his mother, an acclaimed actress, and her lover, a famous novelist. Their glamorous presence not only disrupts the performance, but takes on a more profound significance for all present, in a dramatic comedy about misplaced love and the artistic life.

“Seagull” was the first of Chekhov’s four great plays which revolutionised the world of theatre. This brilliant new translation was first performed at London’s Arcola Theatre, and starred Geraldine James as Arkadina.

Independent Theatre’s cast includes Rebecca Kemp, Eddie Sims, Eloise Quinn-Valentine and Patrick Marlin.
