Outline of Play

Here amid the weariness of life in the country, the famous actress Arkadina presides over a household riven with desperate love, with dreams of success and dread of failure.

Her son, Konstantin, shoots a seagull.  The novelist, Trigorin, will one day write the seagull’s story, but is Nina, the “seagull” herself, whose life to come will rewrite the story..
