- Summary:
- Age recommendation: 12+. The Seagull is part of the Young Chekhov trilogy of the playwright's early work, adapted by David Hare. The trilogy opened to overwhelming acclaim at the Chichester Festival in 2015 and transferred to the National Theatre in 2016. On a summer's day in a makeshift theatre by a lake, Konstantin's cutting-edge new play is performed, changing the lives of everyone involved forever. Chekhov's masterly meditation on how the old take revenge on the young is both comic and tragic, and marks the birth of the modern stage.
