Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull marked a turning point in theatrical realism at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898. Aaron Posner’s contemporary reimagining of this classic play, Stupid Fucking Bird, offers a uniquely humorous perspective on Chekhov’s original. Now you can compare and contrast these two plays about unrequited love and unfulfilled life playing in repertory.
