The Seagull
Unrequited love. Creative jealousy. Guns. Vodka and Art.
Chekhov’s celebrated masterpiece is given vibrant new life in this dynamic new adaptation by Olivier-award winning playwright Simon Stephens directed by Sean Holmes and starring Lesley Sharp as Irina Arkadina.
Switching effortlessly between the ridiculous and the profound The Seagull forensically examines the transcendence and destructiveness of love. The burning need to create Art and how harshly that need can be crushed permeates throughout the play.

Disappointed
1 November 2017
This was a massive modern adaptation and really it was best left alone. For me it just didn’t work. A servant in a track suit informing the rest of the cast in various blingy costumes that the horses were unavailable to take them to town is an example. It didn’t make sense. The audience were inane they belly laughed at every hammed up mannerism. Annoying. I left after the first Act so there may have been an improvement.

Chekhov revisited
25 October 2017
It has taken a full 24 h for me to write any form of review on the Seagull as i was so taken aback, i needed time to process my emotions and perceptions. My husband walked out at the interval, he did not get it... I did, although I was not expecting this kind of play or setting at all but it worked and it gripped me for over 125 minutes.... The cast is cleverly put together and all the actors are strong in their roles. Lesley Sharp is ace in hers and keeps the show on its toes. I won't say more as i think people need to go and experience it for themselves

Great stageplay

Compared to The Seagull in the NT's Chekov trilogy, I liked this one more. Terrific performances in a lucid production of what is a challenging work.
