National Theatre Live: The Seagull (2016)

Directed by Jonathan Kent

“The Chichester Festival Theatre production by Anton Chekhov, in a new version by David Hare”

· 2h 30m

On a summer's day in a makeshift theatre by a lake, Konstantin's cutting-edge new play is performed, changing the lives of everyone involved forever. Chekhov's masterly meditation on how the old takes revenge on the young is both comic and tragic, and marks the birth of the modern stage. Adapted by David Hare whose stage plays include Skylight, Pravada, and screenplays include The Hours and The Reader, directed by Jonathan Kent (Gypsy, Private Lives).
