The Seagull

I’ve been on Douglas Schatz’s The Play Podcast before, talking about first A Doll’s House and then The Deep Blue Sea. He invited me on again to talk about Chekhov’s The Seagull, to coincide with its production by the Jamie Lloyd Company. You can hear it here:

We touch of several things; the strange mixture of comedy and despair, the symbolism of the seagull, the failed first production, Chekhov’s clashes with Stanislavski, the ensemble cast and more. Enjoy.
