Aaron Posners sort of adaptation of The Seagull brings together an established actress, her aspiring playwright son, his girlfriend (an aspiring actress on her own), and the mothers lover and well-respected writer, in a clash of young and old, past and present, with everyone in search of the true meaning of it all. As the Washington Post says, its a funny, moving slugfest, a ripe mashup of mock and awesometimes it blows Chekhov up, and sometimes the play explodes with a genuinely Chekhovian release of emotion. The show is smart enough to have it both ways: It mines The Seagull for classical heft even while giving it the bird.
