The Seagull (1981)

Questa volta, avendo la foto, ho cercato anche qualche informazione, ma lascio a Claudia l'onere e l'onore di trovare qualcosa di meglio.

THE SEAGULL
by Thomas Kilroy, after Anton Chekhov.

“I think a good adaptation should send you back to the original.” Thomas Kilroy

Thomas Kilroy’s version of The Seagull is a dazzling reappraisal of Chekhov’s classic play which transposes the action to the West of Ireland in the late nineteenth century. In the decline of the Anglo-Irish estates and the emergence of the Land League, Kilroy discovers illuminating parallels to the shifts in Russian society that inform Chekhov’s original.

The Seagull was first performed at The Royal Court Theatre in 1981, directed by Max Stafford-Clark, with Tony Rohr,
Anton Lesser, Stuart Burge, Harriet Walter, T. P. Mckenna, Anna Massey And Alan Rickman.

Playwright Thomas Kilroy was born in 1934 in Callan, County Kilkenny.
