Theater Analysis of the Play "Seagull"

In early October, I went to the LYNN Redgrave Theater to see the play "Seagull" as part of a cultural product. The original was written by my favorite Russian writer, Anton Chekhov. I have seen this script before, but seeing English / Irish adaptation is very interesting. When I first entered the theater, I noticed that landscape and drama setting itself was small and calm. The suit itself is a hybrid of stage stage and black box stage.

Segull premiere at the Alexandria theater in St. Petersburg on 17th October 1896 was a perfect disaster for the creative environment of the theater. In addition to rehearsing, Seagull is going to participate in the evening without any participation for the famous comedian. Her fans were dissatisfied with the experiment they thought they were elegant, and then there was a riot. Although the subsequent performances were very popular, the theater manager decided to end the game after only 5 performances. Chekhov was ruined and vowed to never write a script. Nevertheless, he has spent a lot of effort to fix Wood Demon who failed in 1889 and eventually became Uncle Vanya.

From October to November 1995, Chekhov deliberately contempted the 19th century theater performing tournament, who wrote the seagulls: it was not a protagonist, its dramatic behavior declined, not all scenes. Avoid dramatic crisis and directly express strong emotions. Yarmolinsky's "Express" records the artistic evaluation of the playwright against his art with a seagull: "I forced it and started making it a weak voice - contrary to all the rules of the theater art ". For the first time in this attempt, Seagull revealed the originality of Chekhov. However, from the harsh symbolic meaning borrowed from Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, the drama has a flaw - using a dead gull to represent betrayal of hope; and this work is a later drama As was done, the ambiguity of solving your own condition is the opposite balance
