"Sort of adapted" from Chekhov by Aaron Posner, it’s The Seagull on steroids: Con hates his mother, but Nina, the girl he adores, lusts after his mother’s lover. Mix equal parts ambition, sex and alcohol, and what you get is a recipe for madness. Directed by Tim Dugan, assistant professor of theater.
