Presse : NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Anyone who comes fresh to the play should be warned they are not seeing some radical reinterpretation, but a pallid version of the real thing...Mitchell's Seagull does, though, generate an intriguing, desolate atmosphere." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "This is an evening where acting takes second place to effect and the sight of a decaying class tangoing its way to oblivion. It is director's theatre at its most indulgent in which the play, as Chekhov wrote it, is definitely not the thing." DOMENIC CAVENDISH for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "One of the most insightful Chekhov interpreters of her generation with a daringly dark and stripped-back Seagull." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "The period is somewhat confusingly updated to the 1920s...the main problem is an excess of atmospherics and detail...One should feel their pain at the end. I didn’t." ALASTAIR MACAULAY for THE FINANCIAL TIMES says, "It’s clever, it’s elegant, it’s interesting – and so what if it isn’t the least bit moving? Or if it isn’t the play Chekhov wrote?"

Commentaires longs: Une production de la RSC
Presse : NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Nunn's production is hampered by monotonous langour, conceptual vagueness and melodramatic pointing." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Trevor Nunn's production is a mixed bag: strong at the margins, fallible at the centre and, at three hours 20 minutes, desperately long." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "Impressive...But, in the final analysis...just miss true greatness." GERALD BERKOWITZ for THE STAGE says, "Excellent production."BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "Frances Barber...giving a deeper performance than at Stratford."

Commentaires : Switching effortlessly between the ridiculous and the profound The Seagull forensically examines the transcendence and destructiveness of love. The burning need to create Art and how harshly that need can be crushed permeates throughout the play.
