National Theatre Live have released a brand new trailer of The Jamie Lloyd Company’s production of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, which will be broadcast globally from 3 November.

In a version by Anya Reiss, directed by Jamie Lloyd, The Seagull has now entered its final three weeks of performances, running until 10 September at Harold Pinter Theatre.

A young woman is desperate for fame and a way out. A young man is pining after the woman of his dreams. A successful writer longs for a sense of achievement. An actress wants to fight the changing of the times. In an isolated home in the countryside where dreams are in tatters, hopes dashed, hearts broken and there is nowhere left to turn, the only option is to turn on each other.

The cast includes Jason Barnett as Shamrayev, Emilia Clarke as Nina, Robert Glenister as Sorin, Tom Rhys Harries as Trigorin, Mika Onyx Johnson as Medvedenko, Gerald Kyd as Dorn, Daniel Monks as Konstantin, Sara Powell as Polina, Indira Varma as Arkadina and Sophie Wu as Masha, with understudies Katie Buchholz, Tina Harris, Joseph Langdon and David Lee-Jones. 

The production has set and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, lighting by Jackie Shemesh, sound and composition by George Dennis, and casting by Stuart Burt CDG.
