Conrad’s desperate love for Nina might just be the death of him—if his imperious mother and her latest fling don’t get there first.

Aaron Posner’s award-winning, wry riff on The Seagull scoops up Chekhov’s tale of unrequited love, missed opportunities, and misplaced dreams and sets it down squarely in the bustle of 21st century life.

But the more things change the more they really don’t—and the artist frustrated by the emptiness of modern art, the dissatisfied young woman yearning for freedom, and the has-beens and never-weres of a passing generation all still wonder: “What are we doing here?”

WINNER, Best New Play - Helen Hayes Award
NEW YORK PREMIERE


“sort of” adapted from
Chekhov’s THE SEAGULL
by AARON POSNER
directed by DAVIS McCALLUM

Reviews

  • Mr. Posner’s bitingly funny, bruisingly sad “sort of” adaptation of “The Seagull” comes closer than many productions of the original to capturing the full complexity of feeling in the play.
