First performed over a century ago, this play remains one of the most widely staged productions throughout the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe four protagonists in \u003ci\u003eThe Seagull\u003c\/i\u003e are all artists; Trigorin is a well-established writer, Arkadina is a renowned yet aging actress, her son Treplev is a struggling writer, and Nina is a young aspiring actress who is in love with Treplev.
