The Seagull
Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was a Russian playwright and a master of the modern short story. His plays, including The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard, are among the most widely performed in the world.
“[A] fluid adaptation.”―The New Yorker
“Remains utterly faithful to the original while giving it the lightest dusting of [Stoppard’s] own brisk wit . . . A play that might have been written a hundred days instead of a hundred years ago.”―New York Times
“Stoppard’s recent translation of The Seagull has given us the achingly sad and escapably tragic world that the great Russian playwright envisioned. The work overtakes us . . . Emotions flow like tears.”―New York Daily News
“Audacious Shakespeare-infused conversational flair.”―Los Angeles Times
“Consistently funny, a sharply observed human comedy of crisscrossing desires . . . [Tom Stoppard] never sacrifices pungent immediacy to the fetish of literal accuracy.”―Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Stoppard . . . remains faithful to the humor that Chekhov intended to convey amid all the pathos.”― Chicago Tribune
“Stoppard has produced a vigorously speakable text…The translator’s instinct for comedy helps heighten the humour in Chekhov’s situations.”―The Independent (UK)
“Anyone blanching at the thought of ingenious Stoppardian word games in Chekhov’s bucolic setting . . . may be surprised . . . A fine, faithful translation . . . Stripped to its bare essentials, The Seagull . . . is a remarkably modern play that treads in uncharted psychological minefields . . . An enormous amount to chew on. It’s a brilliant portrait, painted with studied detachment.”―CurtainUp
“If this show ever went to an open run in the park, the aforementioned planetarium would probably have to file for bankruptcy . . . one of the iconic Chekhov’s undisputed classics . . . The Seagull debuted at the Moscow Art Theater over 100 years ago, launching a move toward naturalism that influenced modern theater and film in more ways than we can imagine.”―TheaterMania
