The Seagull (Hampton)
by Christopher Hampton, Anton Chekhov, Curt Columbus
Synopsis
THE STORY: THE SEAGULL is one of the great plays about writing.
It superbly captures the struggle for new forms, the frustrations and fulfillments of putting words on a page.
Chekhov, in his first major play, stages a vital argument about the theatre that still resonates today.
