Blanche McIntyre gives a director’s-eye-view of The Seagull

INTERVIEW: BLANCHE MCINTYRE

The director of John Donnelly’s radical new version of The Seagull, for Headlong and The Nuffield Southampton, talks to Judi Herman about her extraordinary staging, with designer Laura Hopkins, of Chekov’s great exploration of artistic creativity, unrequited love and the clashes between the generations. Recorded at Watford Palace Theatre, 25 April 2013.

You have these eleven people dealing with life, which obviously makes no sense, trying to put patterns on it, explaining it, analysing it.
