Presented by MART and Wild Yak
When Russia’s invasion of Ukraine casts a shadow of censorship over Kon’s free-spirited reimagining of Chekhov’s The Seagull, the production is stripped down to a state-approved shell of its former self. Desperate to save his vision and his livelihood, Kon flees to New York. Torn between his Russian roots and a confounding American paradise, he tries to redefine himself as an artist, only to discover that regaining true freedom takes more than just a few thousand miles…
Inspired by true events, this bold and playful theatrical experience, packed full of “comedic mayhem that makes the audience roar” (Stage and Cinema), transfers to London after a hugely successful Off-Broadway run at La Mama. Acclaimed Russian director Alexander Molochnikov leads a stellar cast in a story of love, betrayal, and the struggle to make meaningful art in a world where the truth depends on who’s in charge.
