Anton Chekhov's first major play, a theatrical masterpiece that blends comedy and tragedy, focuses its insightful gaze on a successful actress, who brings her celebrated novelist lover to visit her aspiring-playwright son at a fading country estate in rural Russia. As old friends and family gather for an evening, The Seagull delves into themes of love, petty jealousies, missed connections, unrequited passions and the struggle of artistic creation, building to a climax that at once fulfills and defies expectations. Experience it all on stage at Chicago's Lund Auditorium on the campus of Dominican University.
