Caroline Steinbeis and Rory Mullarkey return to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for The Seagull, Anton Chekhov’s twentieth century classic.

The first of Chekov’s four major plays, The Seagull is the only work inspired by Shakespeare will be performed for the first time at the Globe.

This new production will stage the classic work in the intimate Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, directed by Caroline Steinbeis and translated by Rory Mullarkey.

Book The Seagull tickets

Book your tickets now for Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, the first of his work to ever be presented at The Globe. Demand for tickets will be high, given the size and limited seating capacity of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

The characters: An actress, her lover, her playwright son and an aspiring performer. The setting: a house by a lake.

What begins as a play within a play soon becomes a gripping tale of art, ego and love. And, when the curtain falls, what is really left behind?
