Publisher's Summary

Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull is considered one of his most haunting and atmospheric character studies. A would-be playwright is at war with his egoistic mother while the town has become intoxicated by a sensational author. And as the alluring newcomer steals away Kosta’s only love, their new romance could have devastating consequences. 

Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at The James Bridges Theater, UCLA, in September 2012.
