THE SEAGULL
Starring Diane Wiest & Alan Cumming
I love Diane Weist, it's too bad I don't like Chekov or I would totally go see this!
There's something weird and almost wrong about Alan Cumming in civilian clothes looking like a normal person.
It's just not right!
I would LOVE to see this!

Haha, it is a bit of a surprise, innit? Although there's no denying he's gorgeous... even if he does look normal in that civilian garb.
I would love to see this production. Too bad it'll probably be over once my birthday rolls around or else I'd request seeing as a birthday present.

I love Diane Wiest - AMEN!

Keep trying -- you'll make the grade yet.
Me loves Dianne Wiest. We (along with Reba McEntire) share birthdays: March 28th.
I saw this last Friday. Thank you so much for the photos. Cumming loses his accent for this part, and is as beautiful and charismatic as always. I was sitting in the first row, and boy are the actors close in this tiny theater! I thought almost everyone in the cast was excellent.
One of my favourite plays of all time. I would love to see this production. Beautiful photos!
what's that varnish or polish on the floor called?
They used it in Utopia and I've (and this is weird) kind of fallen in love with it!
Once you see a great production of Chekov, your view starts to turn on his work. Beautiful photos.

The floor looks like a mirror, as the reflections are very exact. Sitting in the first row, it was strange to look "down" into the set in reverse. Just like a visual cliff.
Thanks for the pics J*.
I'm really excited to see this show. I LOVE Chekhov. I wish someone would bring 'The Black Monk' to the stage. I think it would be amazing. I'd like to see more classic plays On and Off Broadway, but I understand it's just not feasible for most of the theatres. It's a shame that such art is being lost. But, it is a business.
Thank heavens for community and regional theatre!

It's hard for me to really get into and connect with any literature in translation, but especially of the Russian variety. I don't know why.
