National Theatre Live: The Seagull

by Anton Chekhov, in a version by Anya Reiss, directed by Jamie Lloyd

Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) makes her West End debut in this 21st century retelling of Anton Chekhov’s tale of love and loneliness. A young woman is desperate for fame and a way out. A successful writer longs for a sense of achievement. In an isolated home in the countryside, dreams lie in tatters, hopes are dashed, and hearts broken. With nowhere left to turn, the only option is to turn on each other. Run Time: 2 h 30 min.
