Seagulls

The classic, recharged

Konstantin is desperate to prove his talent as a writer. Irina, once a star, is desperate to keep her own flailing acting career afloat. At a performance of his new play, Konstantin’s reunion with his mother reopens old wounds, bringing repressed emotions to the surface. Can their relationship survive new flames and past traumas?

Dipo Baruwa-Etti and Taio Lawson bring Chekhov’s classic comedy-drama to a new generation in this sharp and contemporary Black British retelling.
