About the Show
The Seagull, one of Chekhov’s most popular plays and a favorite among actors, returns with a vital new production directed by Chekhov expert and actor Bruce Katzman, author of
Secrets of Chekhov, and stars Sasha Alexander (
Rizzoli and Isles, NCIS, Shameless) as Arkadina, and James Tupper (
Revenge, Big Little Lies, Grey’s Anatomy)) as Trigorin.
The Seagull is Chekhov’s first masterpiece play which continues to resonate with modern audiences. Written in 1896 and titled by Chekhov as a comedy, its two dominant themes—the pursuit of love and the pursuit of artistic expression—are as relevant today as they were 125 years ago.
