A fading actress. A restless writer. A family's country estate simmering with desire, ambition and regret.

Chekhov's much-loved masterpiece soars anew in a darkly comic reimagining by Mike Poulton, with beloved stage and screen star Caroline Quentin leading a stellar ensemble.

A once-celebrated actress, Arkadina (Quentin) dominates every room she enters, leaving little chance for anyone else to shine. Her son, the tormented young playwright Konstantin, yearns to escape her shadow, revolutionise theatre, and win the heart of Nina, a luminous young woman with dreams of the stage. But when Nina's gaze turns instead to Arkadinas lover, the celebrated writer Trigorin, egos and passions collide with devastating consequences.
