Bartlett Theater's Site-Specific, Outdoor Production of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull

Bartlett Theater's Tennessee Williams-centered season will continue this May with a play that was hugely inspiring to the iconic playwright: Anton Chekhovs The Seagull. Anya Reisss radical new comedic adaptation delves into the mysteries of the human condition and explores the beauty and tragedy of human feelings.

The Seagull will be directed by Jonathan Bohun Brady and will be a site-specific production performed at a historic country farmhouse near the Eno River in Durham, NC.
