Seagull: True Story transfers to London!
We are delighted to be working with MART to bring Alexander Molochnikov's bold and playful tale of love, betrayal and artistic freedom to the Marylebone Theatre from 5th September - 11th Ocotber
MART and Wild Yak present Seagull: True Story at the Marylebone Theatre following a hugely successful sold out Off-Broadway run at La Mama this Spring. This wildly inventive, darkly comic and politically charged remix of Chekhov’s classic blends autobiographical drama, Chekhovian themes and biting satire.
When Russia’s invasion of Ukraine casts a shadow of censorship over Kon’s free-spirited reimagining of Chekhov’s The Seagull, the production is stripped down to a state-approved shell of its former self. Desperate to save his vision and his livelihood, Kon flees to New York. Torn between his Russian roots and a confounding American paradise, he tries to redefine himself as an artist, only to discover that regaining true freedom takes more than just a few thousand miles…
Seagull: True Story is inspired by recent events in Molochnikov’s own life. An award-winning director in Russia, Molochnikov left Russia in 2022 after speaking out against Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. He cannot return home. Of the experience, Molochnikov says, “I never thought I'd have the courage to stage a play about myself, but the war has changed life so drastically that in the past three years, I've been living and reliving a full-fledged drama. It is the most important thing I’ve ever had to do, a story of a world of creativity bursting before my eyes, of the impossibility of freely creating art and the necessity to fight for its freedom in both Russia and the US!"
This bold and playful theatrical experience is packed full of ‘comedic mayhem that makes the audience roar’ (Stage and Cinema), using song, multimedia, absurdist humour and layered metatheatre to explore the fragility of art, identity and freedom under authoritarian regimes. Molochnikov leads a stellar cast in a story of love, betrayal and the struggle to make meaningful art in a world where the truth depends on who’s in charge.
This is a provocative and poignant show about survival that offers a deeply personal exploration of displacement, dissent and the power of live performance in the face of oppression.
What ultimately emerges in Seagull: True Story is not just a tale of exile and reinvention, but a portrait of a director undeterred by the collapse of his artistic infrastructure… Through humor, satire, and scrappy ingenuity, Seagull: True Story reveals the true cost of creative freedom, not as a noble abstraction, but as a daily, grinding negotiation with power, relevance, and the rent (TheaterScene).

The Big Greekender
Over the last 8 years, David Greig, John Browne, Sasha Milavic Davies and Ramin Gray have been rebuilding Aeschylus’ lost four-play sequence DANAÏDS. Following the previous success of The Suppliant Women and The Sons of Aegyptos, all four parts of the tetralogy were strung together in a festival of Greek Theatre at the Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury on Saturday 21st June for the first time since 463BC.
Mixing community performers with professionals, using authentic musical instruments, foregrounding rhythm and movement DANAÏDS is a highly pertinent myth that highlights asylum, consent, and the limits of democracy.
Featuring a chorus of young women from Athens, theatre students from London South Bank University and the University of Oxford, and local citizens of Canterbury, the full tetralogy was showcased across the summer solstice as scratch-style performances, followed by an academic symposium analysing the works on the Sunday.
Suppliant Women: The first of the four plays, and the most developed of the productions, Suppliant Women follows the plight of 50 women as they seek asylum in Argos, their motherland, in the hopes to avoid being married off to their cousins, the Sons of Aegyptos. Featuring chorus of Greek women from the American College of Greece in Athens, and acting performances from Greg Hicks and Tom Chapman, this musical play confronts themes of asylum, duty, and consent.
Sons of Aegyptos: Swiftly on the heels of the Suppliant Women are their soon to be husbands, their cousins, the Sons of Aegyptos (performed by a chorus of actors from London South Bank University). Only one word survives the original text of the play, and for the Big Greekender, the creative team have re-workshopped their initial adaptation of the play, incorporating the Canterbury Citizens Chorus more, and focusing more on the downfall of Argos and debating how the God’s in Olympus are handling the conflict between the cousins.
Daughters of Danaos: Following their arranged marriages to their cousins, the Daughters of Danaos (performed by a chorus from LSBU) share a pact to murder their husbands on their wedding nights, thus keeping their virginity intact and being saved from enforced marriage. However, one sister, Hypermnestra (performed by Laura Rogers) cannot go through with the act, having fallen for her chosen husband, Lynceus. This complicates their pact, leaving the Daughters once again exiled, this time from Argos, as murderers. Their father Danaos (Greg Hicks) dies at the hands of Lynceus, and the Goddess Aphrodite (Derbhle Crotty) ends the final tragedy by encouraging the women to embrace desire and love.
Amymone: The final play, a comedic satyr, performed to restore good cheer after three tragedies. Amymone explores a group of satrys and followers of Dionysus as they encounter the Suppliant Women on their arrival to Argos. With a witty comedic script from David Greig, the LSBU Male Chorus brough a raucous cheer to the end of the day’s theatre.
