“An unmissable occasion...the result is less wild than Benedict Andrews’s production of Three Sisters, less freewheelingly absurd than Vakhtangov’s production of Uncle Vanya, but – in Russell Bolam’s sly and absorbing production – absolutely as transporting.”

“Directed with the lightest of touches by Russell Bolam...in a year of remarkable Chekhov revivals, this Seagull flies with the best.”

“As emotionally honest and heartfelt a production as the author could have hoped...the great confrontations are electric, the setting unfussedly effective.”
