The Seagull by ANTON CHEKHOV translated by ELISAVETA FEN with and ' ... an idea suddenly came into my head. A subject for a short story: a young girl, like you, has lived beside a lake from childhood. She loves the lake as a seagull does, and she's happy and free as a seagull. But a man chances to come along, sees her and, having nothing better to do, destroys her - just like this seagull here.'
Directed by GERRY JONES (Gwen Watford is in ' Present Laughter' at the Vaudeville Theatre, London)
