The Seagull

The Seagull

July 10-12 & July 17-19

The Seagull is a bittersweet drama about unrequited love, artistic ambition, and the destructive nature of selfishness. The story revolves around a complex web of romantic and creative rivalries on a Russian country estate. Irina, a fading, middle-aged actress; Trigorin, a dissolute but popular writer whom greatness has passed by, and the actress' frustrated, melancholy son Constantin who is lovesick over Nina, are the players in this bittersweet tragedy of lives and love gone wrong. Nina, enchanted by the debonair Trigorin and obsessed with acting on the stage, follows Trigorin to the city where she bears him a child and becomes a common dilletante. Ultimately deserted by the older man, Nina returns and again rejects Constantin's overtures of love.
