Directed by Chris Weare
Quickly following the resounding success of their dance production 'Come Together' - The Beatles, Covered/Uncovered, the students of the Luitingh Alexander Musical Theatre Academy (LAMTA) are ready to wow you again with their acting production, a double bill of Anton Chekhov's 'The Seagull' and Aaron Posner's 'Stupid Fu$%ing Bird' - a hilarious spoof of 'The Seagbeull'.'The Seagull', set in the Russian countryside at the end of the 19th century, tells the story of the romantic and artistic conflicts between four characters: the famous story writer Boris Trigorin, the ingnue Nina, the fading actress Irina Arkadina and her son the playwright Konstantin Treplev.
Posner's 'Stupid Fu$%ing Bird' is an irreverent, contemporary, petulant and very funny spoof of Chekhov's 'The Seagull' as it sends up its themes of the battle between old and new, the past and present and its tale of unrequited love, lost opportunities and unfulfilled dreams.
