Considered by some critics among one of the 100 most important plays of all times, The Seagull is the first of the four major plays of Anton Chekhov, revolving around the romantic and aristic relations of the four main characters. It was first staged in 1896 in St Petersbourg, resulting in a spectacular fiasco, but soon recovered to go on to become one of the most performed shows on all times.

From the Inside Flap:

Anton Chekhov's The Seagull is considered one of his most haunting and atmospheric character studies. A would-be playwright is at war with his egoistic mother while the town has become intoxicated by a sensational author. And as the alluring newcomer steals away Kosta's only love, their new romance could have devastating consequences.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring:

Calista Flockhart as Irina Nikolayevna Arkadina

T.R. Knight as Konstantin Treplev

Stephen Collins as Yevgeny Dorn

Directed by Rosalind Ayres. Translated by Christopher Hampton. Recorded by L.A. Theatre Works before a live audience at the James Bridges Theater, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television in September 2012.

From the Back Cover:

A group of friends and relations gather at a country estate to see the first performance of an experimental play, written and staged by the young man of the house, Konstantin. Among the audience are Konstantin's mother, the actress Arkadina, and her lover, the famous novelist Trigorin. Their glamorous presence not only disrupts the performance but soon takes on a more profound significance for the lives of all those present. The Seagull has always been a favourite among Chekhov's plays. It was in fact his first success - and the first success for Stanislavski, who directed and acted in it - though the first ever production of the play had been a disaster.
