- $2,158 spent. The Seagull, by Anton Chekhov The Rude Mechanicals in Residence at The Greenbelt Arts Center Directed by Melissa Schick. The Rude Mechanicals are known for concept Shakespeare, but concept Chekhov? Well that's not something people do. Or is it? Our next production of The Seagull transports these drama queens of the Russian theatre in the late 1800s to the American music industry of the late 1900s. 1979 to be exact. In this production we aim to explore how the revolutionary revamping of theatre that occurred during Chekhov and Stanislavski's era bears similarities to the way the birth and rising popularity of punk rock revolutionized music in the late 1970s. Come and witness new forms in music taking shape. Constantine is a tortured songwriter involved in founding the punk rock movement in the late 1970s. He'd love nothing more than to prove his worth to his rich and famous but cold and withholding mother, the famous diva, Arkadina. Constantine is in love with Nina, a young aspiring singer who wants to make it big. Nina is a little star struck by the wildly successful Trigorin, who is dating Arkadina. Masha, the gothiest goth who ever gothed, is in unrequited love with Constantine and soothes the pain of unreturned love with substance abuse and witty denial. Medviedenko the schoolteacher is in unrequited love with Masha. Everyone at Sorin's estate is clearly very, very happy. January 24 - February 1, 2025 Tickets sold 172
