Synopsis

The Seagull is set against the backdrop of a summer country home, and tackles The Consequences of Disillusionment, The Purpose of Art, and the price of Living in the Shadow of a Renowned Parent. Chekhov relies heavily on dramatic irony to reveal the ridiculousness of the characters’ plights, landing this genre-bending play most often in the comedic category. It has been adapted numerous times for film, musicals, and as a ballet. The play is still widely performed across the globe. This play will be available on the Drama Library through September and October. As part of "Hear, Here Vol I", there will be an offline reading of this play at Drama School, Mumbai on the 9th of October.
