This superb play by Anton Chekhov presents drama and romance
between an ensemble cast of vivid, evocative characters. We join
Sorin, a retired government servant who lives on his estate with
his wife who is a famed stage actress named Arkadina. Their son,
Konstantin Treplyov, is a playwright who has recently published an
unconventional work which has attracted much public attention.
However, in spite of his artistic talents Konstantin is prone to
troubles of mood. His habit of shooting seagulls influences the
plot, and provides the play with its title. In keeping with his
penchant for romantic flair, Chekhov establishes potential romances
early in the story. Masha, the estate keeper's daughter, is taken
by Konstantin but herself liked by a schoolteacher named
Medvedenko. These romances in turn fuel the plot - as the reader is
left guessing as to who will pair off with whom.
