The Seagull
a classic play by Anton Chekov
directed by Carlos Fischler
Many thanks to all who came out and supported "The Seagull". Special thanks to Michael Toscano of The Washington Post, who wrote: What saves this play from ruin is the brilliant work of several key players who find shades of realism in their characters. Foremost is Donnelly as Irina, the actress who emotionally cripples her insecure son, Konstantin, even as she seeks admiration from everyone else.
Donnelly, who recently relocated to this area after work in several soap operas, imbues the elegant, melodramatic woman with an attitude of calculated detachment that makes her all the more intriguing.

Irina begs Trigorin not to leave her for a younger woman
Moving in to get what she wants...
"Got him!"
Pleading with her son not to kill himself ...
Konstantin making a promise to his mother that he will not keep...
Anguish, Chekhov style |
