THE GULL; A TRAGICOMEDY FOR ONE, AFTER CHEKHOV
Advertisement
ONE DAY ONLY!
Riffing on Anton Chekhov's classic "show about nothing," The Seagull, we find a dilapidated country estate populated by tortured artists, writers, and blow-hards, where dreams die, hopes are dashed, and everyone loves the wrong person! What could go wrong? This brand new, hilarious, and touching piece tears away any musty old remnants of “1896” by having one actor perform all 10 characters. It's a robust 90-minute journey and a tour de force for the actor, as it also includes a "Narrator" to manage the chaos and provide snarky commentary. This fresh and witty treatment of one of the most popular and important comedies in modern drama will cause patrons to laugh, to shed a tear, to ask (as patrons have been doing for 130 years) "what is wrong with these people?!"
In conjunction with Theatre At Normandale, the World-Premiere Tour of this piece continues with a landing in the Twin Cities! Join us at the Premanand Fine Arts Theatre for a 'happy hour matinee.' Joan Korte is the "one actor." Tom Woldt directs.
ADMISSION IS FREE, RESERVATIONS NOT REQUIRED
