The Seagull

by Anton Chekhov
Directed by Ray Aspey
30th October – 6th November 1971

The Seagull was written in 1895. It was described by Chekhov as a “comedy in four acts, a landscape (a view of the lake), much talk about literature and five tons of love”. It was also a challenge to the artificial theatre of the day against which Chekhov introduced a new ‘naturalism’ and real, instead of artificial, characters.
