'The Seagull/Woodstock, NY' Reimagines Chekhov

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 9, 2023

A new adaptation of Chekhov's famous play, "The Seagull," by Thomas Bradshaw sets the action in the Hudson Valley, and turns the characters into a group of New York theater people struggling to live together without egos and rivalries getting in the way. Bradshaw and actors Ato Essandoh and Parker Posey join us to discuss "The Seagull/Woodstock, NY" running at the Pershing Square Signature Center through April 9th.
