The Seagull: Malibu

The Seagull: Malibu
Retold by Ellen Geer from The Seagull by Anton Chekhov

July 12 – October 5

Synopsis:
In this evocative retelling of Anton Chekhov’s timeless masterpiece The Seagull, Artistic Director Ellen Geer transports audiences to the sun-soaked yet tumultuous shores of 1970s Malibu, California. Set against the backdrop of a country transitioning from the ideals of the free-love era to the self-centered “Me Generation,” the story follows Constantine, a young writer concerned about global warming, which is spurned as a fantasy by those around him. He tries to reach his family. His thoughts and writing are buried by egos and turmoil of the times. With the crashing waves of Malibu as both a literal and metaphorical backdrop, Chekhov’s exploration of human fragility, ambition, and the search for love and meaning reminds audiences of the fragile threads that unite us all.
