Playing at the Swan Theater for a month, late July through August.
Starring Kenneth Branagh, Helen Hunt and Bill Pullman, among others. 

Is it too soon to hope we might get a limited transfer at BAM or St. Ann’s?

What is up with all the Cherry Orchards and Vanya? At least throw us a a Three Sisters or a Seagull.


St. Ann’s just had that horrendous Cherry Orchard last season and the Armory has one coming in the fall.

I feel like there have been lots of Seagulls.

And there was almost the Three Sisters at NYTW with Oscar Isaac / Greta Gerwig / Sam Gold / Clare Barron … but the pandemic stopped that one and after Barbie, Greta is gonna be locked up directing for the next decade.

When was the last major production of The Seagull in NYC?

There was an adaptation at The Public just a few months ago. I’m also specifically thinking of the New Group adaptation with Parker Posey a couple years ago. And wasn’t there just a London one with Cate Blanchett rumored to transfer?

I think both of those were modern riffs on The Seagull, not the actual play. I’d love to see Cate Blanchett do it but now I’m more interested in that Persona inspired show she’s doing in London in the fall. I suspect any chance of her Seagull coming to New York has dried up.

 

I’ve seen three Vanyas in New York in just the last three years!
