Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out. – Chekhov

In a world of Instagram and influencers The Seagull is more relevant than ever.

Chekhov’s classic comic-tragedy explores the nature of art and artists, our tendency to self-dramatise, waste our lives and the empty promise of fame.“

You must know why you are writing, otherwise, without a definite aim, you'll lose yourself along the picturesque path and your talent will destroy you.”
