• Achoimre

  An adaptation of Chekhov’s first great comedy, which tells the story of Arkadina (a fading actress) and her passionate, lonely son, Konstantin. One day in a fit of misery he shoots a seagull. Trigorin, the writer, threatens to write a story about it. Nina, the local beauty and object of their affections, becomes “the seagull” with calamitous consequences, as the play moves in a frenetic spiral of farce, tragedy and love.
