The Seagull
October 13, 2007
Considered one of Chekhov’s masterpieces, The Seagull deftly combines both comedy and tragedy in a story of romantic triangles and unrequited love. The play, developed in opposition to the melodramatic theatre of the 19th century, focuses on themes of theatre, art, and nature, and reflects Chekhov’s view that a life without purpose is no life at all. The plot centers on the romantic and artistic conflicts between four theatrical characters: the ingenue Nina, the fading leading lady Irina Arkadina, her son the experimental playwright Konstantin Treplyov, and the writer Trigorin.
The Meadows production includes material originally deleted by the Russian censors when the play debuted in the late 1890s. It will be directed by guest artist Henry Woronicz, an acting and directing veteran of Broadway, regional theater and television.
