AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When famed but fading theatrical diva Arkadina brings her entourage ­– including her writer lover Trigorin and tortured, unconventional playwright son Konstantin – to seek solace at her brother’s country hideaway, she unwittingly sets light to a powderkeg of repressed emotions as flames of passion are lit and extinguished and love triangles mesh together and drift apart.'
