Calista Flockhart, T.R. Knight, and Dakin Matthews will headline the L.A. Theatre Works’ presentation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, to be presented in a new version by Christopher Hampton. Rosalind Ayres will direct the staging, at UCLA’s James Bridges Theater, September 20-23.
The play is set in 19th century Russia, as an aging actress (played by Flockhart) returns home with her younger lover, to find a household overflowing with creativity, fantasies of fame, jealousy and unrequited love.
The cast will also include Gordon Clapp, Stephen Collins, Logan Fahey, Cindy Katz and Josh Stamberg.
Performances will be recorded for L.A. Theatre Works’ nationally syndicated radio theater series, distribution on CD, and digital download.
