The Seagull

"Then one day a man turns up, sees her, and mindlessly destroys her - just like this seagull."

The Seagull focuses on the lives of a family staying in their summer home in Russia. It follows an aspiring writer, Konstantin, as he tries to win the attention of both his mother, Arkadina, and love, Nina, who are both more interested in the successful playwright Trigorin. Sombre yet subtly humorous, it gives us an insight into the human condition and emotions we all share.
