BWW Review: THE SEAGULL at Serenbe Playhouse
by Amy Zipperer - September 09, 2018
Fresh off the mammoth production of the musical Titanic, a production that garnered a boatload of much-deserved national press, Serenbe Playhouse is offering up something radically different this month: a modern reimagining of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, complete with hypnotic Balkan music by talented composer Anais Azul. The ambitious play, under the direction of Elizabeth Dinkova, the adaptor of the work, is worth seeing for the gorgeous site-specific staging at Peek Lake near Serenbe, a setting that a purist's Chekhov would also flourish in, but Dinkova's experimental script tries too hard to make a statement about art's power to blur the boundaries between reality and illusion, relying much too heavily on the intrusive narratorial voice of Constance, a gender-flipped Konstantin from the original work, to frame out its profundity for us. In addition, turning the heavy language of Chekhov into the spare language of today's texters and tweeters is a tricky business, and Dinkova's dialogue often feels clunky and forced. In the end, the production, though visually stunning and mostly well-acted, never quite takes flight.
