The Seagull By Anton Chekhov

The Seagull is directed by Matthew Dunster (who previously directed A Midsummer Night's Dream at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in 2012) in a new version by Torben Betts. The first of Chekhov's great works, The Seagull is celebrated as one of the most important plays of the nineteenth century.

As guests assemble at a country house for the staging of an avant-garde open air play, artistic temperaments ignite a more entertaining drama behind the scenes, with romantic jealousies, self-doubt and the ruthless pursuit of happiness confusing lives, loves and literature.
