By Anton Chekhov
from Four Plays and Three Jokes, translated by Sharon Carnicke
Directed by Jay Lee

In SDA Professor Sharon Carnicke’s award-winning translation of Anton Chekhov’s masterwork, The Seagull unravels along the Russian countryside, where a discontented group of artists — a famed actress, her tormented writer son and various romantic triangles — are found in an entanglement of unrequited affection and longing. Chekhov’s heartbreaking and comic exposé of unfulfilled desire is as relevant today as ever before. This production has been programmed as a conversation with the BFA in Acting for Stage, Screen and New Media Seniors’ production of Aaron Posner’s irreverent adaption, Stupid F##cking Bird, allowing the two casts and design teams to explore dramaturgical work together and giving audiences the opportunity to compare two intertwined plays.
