Anton Chekhov's The Seagull is on now at the National Theatre, as part of the Young Chekhov season.
On a summer’s day in a makeshift theatre by a lake, Konstantin’s cutting-edge new play is performed, changing the lives of everyone involved forever. Chekhov’s masterly meditation on how the old take revenge on the young is both comic and tragic, and marks the birth of the modern stage.
Directed by Jonathan Kent (Gypsy, Private Lives), The Seagull is adapted by David Hare whose stage plays include Skylight, Pravada and screenplays include The Hours and The Reader.
The Young Chekhov trilogy opened to overwhelming acclaim at Chichester Festival Theatre last year. The company now come to the National, offering a unique chance to explore the birth of a revolutionary dramatic voice.
