Locus Theatre Company Ends Ru of THE SEAGULL
Locus Theatre Company will end its run of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull on March 21, at the Gene Frankel Theatre in New York City.
A brilliant tragicomedy of human folly and frustration, The Seagull turns a penetrating and clear-sighted mirror onto turn-of-the-century Russian society. In the masterwork that heralded his triumph as a playwright, Chekhov spotlights life and art. His tale of sex, celebrity, and inspiration continues to reveal as much about audiences today as it did at its sensational 1898 opening. Locus Theatre Company's retelling of The Seagull, which commemorates Chekhov's 150th landmark birthday, brings these parallels into sharp focus.
Anton Chekhov is widely recognized as one of the greatest Russian storytellers of all time. A playwright, short-story writer, and physician, his work yields exquisitely drawn sketches of Russian life. His themes, while often profoundly tragic, are carefully imbued with subtle satire.
