The Seagull
The team behind the ★★★★★ ‘entertaining and profound’ ( The Telegraph ) Three Sisters reunite for Chekhov’s timeless story of ambition, power and desire in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. The characters: An actress, her lover, her playwright son and an aspiring performer. The setting: a house by a lake. What begins as a play within a play soon becomes a gripping tale of art, ego and love. And, when the curtain falls, what is really left behind? Caroline Steinbeis and Rory Mullarkey ( Three Sisters , Sam Wanamaker Playhouse) return to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse as director and translator of Chekhov’s twentieth century classic and the first of his four major plays, inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet . ‘If you ever need my life, then come and take it.’ ‘If you ever need my life, then come and take it.’
