I am aware of your love. I simply cannot return it, that is all.

La Mouette took the passion, jealousy and creative hunger of The Seagull into an elegant new world. Robert Tremayne’s adaptation relocated the action to the South of France in the 1920s and became Dionysus Theatre’s first touring production.

The production visited Chichester Fringe, Guildford Fringe, Eastbourne, Hurstpierpoint and the Drayton Arms Theatre in London.
