| Publisher Description: This new translation of Anton Chekhov's classic The Seagull restores what most English-language versions of the play omit - Humor. Considered a world-class humorist and wit, Chekov intended this play to be a Comedy. Translated by Alexandra LaCombe and adapted by award-winning director Janice L. Blixt, this is The Seagull audiences have been waiting for. Beloved actress Arkadina has it all: beauty, fame, and a wonderful relationship with a famous author, Trigorin. She also has a son in his 20s who dreams of being a playwright, and whose very existence reminds the world that Arkadina is guilty of the one thing actresses must never do: grow older. Anton Chekhov's satiric comedy skewers our views of art and entertainment, and where the two of them combine. A darkly funny domestic comedy set at the turn of the last century. |
