The actors will have just one week per episode to read the script, learn their lines and rehearse, ready to broadcast on Friday of that week.Chekhov’s famous characters are reimagined as an extended Kiwi family congregating over Zoom. In a direct commentary of our world in lockdown, the characters are still searching for meaning in their lives while battling love, jealousy, dissatisfaction, dreams, hopes and plans – not to mention malfunctioning video calls! This drama all plays out in self-isolation and over virtual interactions with each other. This retelling of Chekhov’s classic The Seagull is created by a brilliant artistic team and stellar cast, all from their own bubbles.
