Written by Eli Rarey and created and directed by Alexander Molochnikov, an internationally acclaimed director from the Moscow Art Theatre, SEAGULL: TRUE STORY fuses autobiographical drama and biting political satire with classic Chekhovian themes. This politically charged retelling of Molochnikov’s attempt to stage Chekhov’s The Seagull unfolds as a whirlwind of comedic mayhem, artistic rebellion, and deeply personal reflection on displacement, censorship, and the pursuit of creative freedom. Featuring an extraordinary ensemble of international artists, SEAGULL: TRUE STORY offers a provocative and poignant exploration of artistic survival, resistance to censorship, and the transformative power of live theater.
