The Seagull description
The Seagull marks a return to the Barbican stage for Cate Blanchett following her performance in Botho Strauss’ Big and Small (Gross und Klein), in 2012, adapted by Martin Crimp and directed by Benedict Andrews for Sydney Theatre Company (STC), where Blanchett was co-Artistic Director alongside Andrew Upton. Early in their tenure at STC they welcomed Thomas Ostermeier to the company with his acclaimed production of Hamlet as part of Sydney Festival.
The production reunites Blanchett and Burke who have recently completed filming on Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag; and also reunites Ostermeier with Wessex Grove, who collaborated earlier this year on the director’s West End debut – An Enemy of the People with Matt Smith.
