[img]2860|right|||no_popup[/img]The Seagull was written in 1895 by Chekhov, and it is the first of his four major plays.
The story follows a Russian family living on an estate adjacent to a lake.
Daily lives of the 12 main characters are portrayed through comedy and tragedy, even though Chekhov intended for The Seagull to be a comedy. There are four acts – the first three taking place within a week and the fourth, two years later.
Student actors and crew members are enjoying the show because it is different from anything Blurred Vision Theatre Company has done before.
