Summary

Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull is considered one of his most haunting and atmospheric character studies. A would-be playwright is at war with his egoistic mother while the town has become intoxicated by a sensational author. And as the alluring newcomer steals away Kosta’s only love, their new romance could have devastating consequences.

Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at The James Bridges Theater, UCLA, in September 2012.

very good

after seeing a modernised adaptation of Chekhov's play recently in theatre, and finding it very good, i decided to see what another version is like. a very good one. i think it is fascinating how, with a different interpretation over the same script, text can take another form and inspire a different feeling and message because of the performance. theatre is amazing like that.
