One of the high points of world drama, Chekhov's bittersweet tale of frustrated lives and unrequited loves - by turns witty, playful, nostalgic and tragic - is captured in all its complexity by Bryony Lavery's spirited, sharply-written adaptation, first produced at Birmingham Rep in 2007.

“...a vital and vibrant production that remains highly respectful of its source material... Chekhov would cheer.” —Evening Standard

“Now The Seagull has been Anglicised and pulled into the 21st century by award-laden wunderkind Anya Reiss” —The Independent
