Helen Hayes Award, Outstanding New Play, Finalist for the Steinberg Prize
By Aaron Posner. Sort of adapted from ‘The Seagull’ by Anton Chekhov.
My first radical and irreverent adaptation! I wrote it in a something of a torrent, not at all sure anyone would ever produce it. I wrote a play I truly wanted to see at that moment in my life. I have been thrilled to see it become my most produced, most widely known play, not only in The States, but increasingly around the world.
“Mr. Posner’s bitingly funny, bruisingly sad “sort of” adaptation of ‘The Seagull’ comes closer than many productions of the original to capturing the full complexity of feeling in the play.”
