Chekhov’s timeless story of ambition, power and desire in the candlelit intimiate venue next to The Globe. The Seagull playing a limited run at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
Arkadina, a celebrated actress whose larger-than-life presence dominates both the stage and her personal relationships. Arriving at her family's country estate for the weekend, she finds herself caught in a storm of conflicting desires. Her playwright son, Konstantin struggles to step out of her shadow as he pursues his own artistic ambitions and her lover Trigorin (Tom Burke) becomes the object of affection for the aspiring young actress Nina.
As their lives entwine and they each grapple with their desires, ambitions, and disappointments, Chekhov's timeless story unfolds in a gripping tale of vanity, power and sacrifices made in the name of art.
The big opening of Jamie Lloyd's star-studded production of Chekhov's The Seagull — freely adapted from the original source material by Anya Reiss (who's no stranger to the Russian playwright's works, i.e.Three Sisters, Uncle Vanya) — is fast approaching. Now with just two weeks ahead of the show's first performance at the Playhouse Theatre in London, a flock of first-look photos of Emilia Clarke and castmates in rehearsals have come flying in.
