From the Inside Flap
Anton Chekhov's The Seagull is considered one of his most haunting and atmospheric character studies. A would-be playwright is at war with his egoistic mother while the town has become intoxicated by a sensational author. And as the alluring newcomer steals away Kosta's only love, their new romance could have devastating consequences.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring:
Calista Flockhart as Irina Nikolayevna Arkadina
T.R. Knight as Konstantin Treplev
Stephen Collins as Yevgeny Dorn
Gordon Clapp as Ilya Shamrayev
Logan Fahey as Semyon Medvedenko
Cindy Katz as Polina Andreyevna
Dakin Matthews as Pyotr Sorin
Bess Rous as Masha
Josh Stamberg as Boris Alexeyevich Trigorin
Kira Sternbach as Nina
Directed by Rosalind Ayres. Translated by Christopher Hampton. Recorded by L.A. Theatre Works before a live audience at the James Bridges Theater, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television in September 2012.
From the Back Cover
A group of friends and relations gather at a country estate to see the first performance of an experimental play, written and staged by the young man of the house, Konstantin. Among the audience are Konstantin's mother, the actress Arkadina, and her lover, the famous novelist Trigorin. Their glamorous presence not only disrupts the performance but soon takes on a more profound significance for the lives of all those present. The Seagull has always been a favourite among Chekhov's plays. It was in fact his first success - and the first success for Stanislavski, who directed and acted in it - though the first ever production of the play had been a disaster.
