SYNOPSIS:
Konstantin, an aspiring playwright, lives in the shadow of his famous and successful actress mother Arkadina and her current love, the successful writer Trigorin. Konstantin longs for fame and recognition as a writer. He also longs for love and acceptance from his mother and from the beautiful aspiring actress Nina. These two themes, unrequited love and the desire for fame, weave themselves throughout Anton Chekhov's funny and moving masterpiece. Playing out over the course of two years at a lakeside estate in Russia in the 1890’s, Seagull is romantic and magical.
