The Seagull

A play by Anton Chekhov in a new translation by Rory Mullarkey

Starting Friday, 15 January 2027

About the show

The team behind the ★★★★★ ‘entertaining and profound’ (The Telegraph) Three Sisters reunite for Chekhov’s timeless story of ambition, power and desire in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

The characters: An actress, her lover, her playwright son and an aspiring performer. The setting: a house by a lake.

What begins as a play within a play soon becomes a gripping tale of art, ego and love. And, when the curtain falls, what is really left behind?

Caroline Steinbeis and Rory Mullarkey (Three Sisters, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse) return to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse as director and translator of Chekhov’s twentieth century classic and the first of his four major plays, inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
