Great playwrights create their own theatres and from those places talk to us about eternal themes. Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull” is a masterpiece of the so called “New Drama” which is interesting in all times and spaces as it is sarcastic, highly dramatic, ironic, full of symbolism, modernist and at the same time, in its inner nature – apocalyptic that so accurately responds to our prostrate pandemic life.
There are so many psychological layers in the play, so many character lines or destinies intersect that it implies new directorial reading, vision, form, which the Artistic Director of the Batumi Drama Theatre, Andro Enukidze, and the theatre troupe are already offering to the Georgian (and not only) spectators.
