In this irreverent, contemporary and very funny remix of Chekhov’s The Seagull, Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all. This play will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.
Performance dates: April 27th – May 13th, 2018.
