“Sort of adapted” from Chekhov by Aaron Posner, it’s The Seagull on steroids: Con hates his mother, but Nina, the girl he adores, lusts after his mother’s lover. Mix equal parts ambition, sex and alcohol, and what you get is a recipe for madness. Directed by Tim Dugan, assistant professor of theater.

Following today’s performance, the theater department inaugurates the Sunday Speaker Series, a curated conversation on the themes of the play. Martin Andrucki, Charles A. Dana Professor of Theater, will discuss how playwright Aaron Posner “sort of adapted” SFB from Chekhov’s The Seagull. He’ll be joined by facilitator and SFB director Tim Dugan, assistant professor of theater, and assistant director Kush Sharma ’23. Q&A follows.
