Venue and Theatre
You’ve never seen Chekhov like this. Aaron Posner’s irreverent update of “The Seagull” lets us into a country house where unrequited desire is drowned in equal parts alcohol and sarcasm. In true Chekhovian fashion, actresses, playwrights, doctors, and novelists bare their souls as they search desperately for the truth of love and art. This guilty pleasure of a comedy even dares to ask our audience: “What are you doing here, anyway?”
