Seagull: True Story at Marylebone Theatre

When Russia’s invasion of Ukraine casts a shadow of censorship over Kon’s reimagining of The Seagull, his free-spirited new production is reduced to a hollow version of itself. Refusing to let it die quietly, he flees to New York—only to discover that starting over, even in the land of the free, is no simple matter. Seagull: True Story transfers to London after a celebrated Off-Broadway run. Acclaimed director Alexander Molochnikov brings this “wonderfully absurd” (Stage and Cinema) story of love, betrayal, and the search for artistic freedom in a world where the truth depends on who’s in charge.
