The Seagull

February 5-16, 2008 at Ron Maslin Playhouse as part of Season #39 2007-2008

Author(s)

Written by Anton Chekhov
Adapted by Tom Stoppard

Description

Kanata Theatre marks the 100th anniversary of the first production in English of the great Russian story teller’s first hit. A famous actress presides over a household consumed by desperate love, thirst for success, and fear of failure. The wanton killing of a seagull becomes a metaphor for events that follow and a symbol for the stage struck Nina whose inner strength is the key to her survival. Tom Stoppard’s translation captures all the humour and drama from the original Russian.
