The play “The Seagull”

Cate Blanchett and Tom Burke make their return to the stage in Thomas Ostermeier‘s new production of Chekhov’s THE SEAGULL at Barbican Theatre.

Blanchett stars as Arkadina, a celebrated actress whose larger-than-life presence dominates both the stage and her personal relationships. Arriving at her family’s country estate for the weekend, she finds herself caught up in a storm of conflicting desires. Her playwright son, Konstantin, struggles to step out of her shadow as he pursues his own artistic ambitions and her lover Trigorin, played by Tom Burke, becomes the object of affection for the aspiring young actress Nina.

As their lives entwine and they each grapple with their desires, ambitions, and disappointments, Chekhov‘s timeless story unfolds in a gripping tale of vanity, power, and the sacrifices made in the name of art.
