Set in Russia at the end of the 19th century, The Sea Gull tells the story of a group of family and friends who are spending the languid summer months on a country estate. The action concerns the interweaving of their lives with others, and all the romance, intrigue, hopes and disappointments that this life leads to. It is an absorbing and compelling tapestry, an evocation of real life and real people and, ultimately, a deeply moving and revealing human experience. I am seeking to find and highlight the comedy in the piece, as a way of heightening the tragedy of life.
