"The Seagull" is a play by Anton Chekhov that relies on an ensemble cast of
fully-developed characters. The play was initially a failure, with the opening
night being a famous disaster. However, when Konstantin Stanislavski directed
it in 1898 for his Moscow Art Theatre, the play became a triumph. Chekhov
intended the play to be a comedy, but Stanislavski's direction caused it to be
perceived as a tragedy. The play follows the story of a retired senior civil
servant, Pyotr Sorin, and his guests at his country estate. The play deals
with themes of unrequited love, artistic expression, and the human condition.
The play has been adapted and translated multiple times, with some adaptations
being set in modern times. The play has also been adapted into a musical and a
film. Chekhov's collaboration with Stanislavski proved crucial to the creative
development of both men.
