Alumni Theatre Night: The Seagull
November 12, 2019
Theatre and Performance (Department of Communication Arts) presents Anton Chekov’s The Seagull, directed by Matt White. Tom Stoppard’s translation remains true to the original play, a tragi-comedy that exposes the absurdity of a world where grown-ups behave like children, and the next generation grows up having to find their own way.
