The Pershing Square Signature Center [The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre]
480 West 42nd Street New York, NY 10036
A group of New York theater people retreat to a house in the Hudson Valley hoping to get away from it all. Except they can’t seem to escape the ambitions, rivalries and fragile egos that follow them everywhere. Chekhov’s sharp satirical eye for hypocrisy and self-absorption among well-meaning people is given fresh, fun emphasis as Thomas Bradshaw returns to The New Group with his contemporary reworking of a classic masterpiece. Directed by The New Group’s Founding Artistic Director Scott Elliott.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Seagull/Woodstock, NY
Parker Posey, Hari Nef, and a Chekhov reboot for modern times
6 / 10
Despite their anchoring performances, The Seagull/Woodstock, NY doesn’t always soar but instead hovers at a pace that occasionally needs propulsion.
THE SEAGULL: NOT YOUR GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDMOTHER’S CHEKHOV
5 / 10
Perhaps the best (the only?) way to enjoy this bagatelle is to abandon any notion of fidelity or depth and roll with the jokes. After all, The Seagull has survived innumerable treatments – respectful and otherwise – over the past 128 years. The play still has insights to impart, though they’re hard to discern here.
