The Seagull

About The Seagull

The Seagull at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse is Chekhov’s twentieth-century classic, and the first of his four major plays, inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It follows an actress, her lover, her playwright son and an aspiring performer at a house by a lake, where a play within a play develops into a story about art, ego and love.

Caroline Steinbeis and Rory Mullarkey, who worked together on Three Sisters at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, return as director and translator for this production.

Key facts: Children under 3 do not require a ticket. The play features suicide and animal cruelty, with references to child bereavement.
