Quantum's 'Seagull' Flies an Intriguing Path Through Human Space/Time

Entertainment Central Pittsburgh: Two things to know about Seagull, the new adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s classic, now in its world-premiere run at Quantum Theatre (through August 17). The first is that a play about frustration and despair cannot itself be a buzzkill. Not many theater fans want to pay to have the joie de vivre squeezed out of an evening. Chekhov knew this, it seems. He wrote The Seagull as a comedy—well, a tragicomedy—and the version at Quantum keeps the buzz alive.
