A masterfully handled comedy where Chekhov's gun sounds the tragic final note'— Guardian'21st-century drama at its most audacious'— The Times'Duncan Macmillan's adaptation is largely faithful, often very beautiful... plays out with great humour but, more importantly, great complexity... an exquisite piece of theatre'— Evening Standard'Utterly engrossing... languid, thoughtful, and often hilarious... a perfectly pitched adaptation laced with witty notes'— Independent'This adaptation is a cracker... The language and the costumes might be fiercely contemporary, but the masterful setting and characters are 100 per cent Chekhov'— The I Paper'Superb... a magnificent adaptation... surprisingly serious and sensitive in unpicking both the comic and tragic notes in Chekhov's play... It feels urgent, present... plays wonderful dividends with all the characters, letting the humour – and it is really funny – bubble gently from their interactions... glorious'— WhatsOnStage'A breathtaking spectacle that both honours Chekhov's classic and reinvents it for a modern audience... reminds us why Chekhov's play has endured for over a century, but more importantly, offers fresh insights into its characters and themes... This is how you reinvent a masterpiece'— Theatre Weekly Details ISBN 1839044519 ISBN-13 9781839044519 Title The Seagull Author Anton Chekhov, Duncan Macmillan, Thomas Ostermeier Format Paperback Year 2025 Pages 80 Publisher Nick Hern Books GEItemID:177487414; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
