News from across the Hudson: The Stella Adler Studio of Acting will premiere a new adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s classic "The Seagull," the forerunner of modern character-driven dramas with interwoven storylines such as Downton Abbey and Mad Men.
"Celebrated director John Gould Rubin (LAByrinth Theater Company) brings a realistic, deconstructed and more accessible version of the play to the stage with a new translation by Royston Coppenger."
Gould Rubin and Coppenger join an esteemed group of theater luminaries that have adapted "The Seagull," including Tennessee Williams and Tom Stoppard. Innovative in design and atmosphere, the unique production at one point has the entire audience move locations in order to evoke in viewers the same emotions as the characters in the play.
