Columbia University Players Presents: The Seagull
By Anton Chekhov
Directed by Isabelle Pierce
Produced by Madeleine Williams and Sarah Robertson
This female-centered adaptation of Chekov’s “The Seagull” turns a
classically male narrative on its head. As rural Russia is reimagined in a
modern setting, this character-driven ensemble production explores how male
artists fetishize female suffering and romanticize rural poverty in order to
display their own anguish— as long as they can return to the refuge of
their city apartments when the weekend is through. But what happens to those
lacking the wealth and power to participate in this so-called bohemian world?
This darkly poignant comedy reveals the perverted narcissism of the
bourgeoisie, the selfishness and inevitable destruction of longing, and the
calamitous effects of vodka, birds, and a readily available firearm.
