In a recent trip to London, John stopped by the National Theatre to see Katie Mitchell’s production of Chekhov’s The Seagull. He kindly agreed to offer his thoughts on the experience here. This marks the first article from a guest writer at LTB, if you’d like submit your own theatre/performance-related then article please get in touch here. The Seagull by Anton Chekhov translated by Martin Crimp, directed by Katie Mitchell at the Lyttelton, National Theatre, LondonAs a long-time admirer of Chekhov’s work, both the plays and the short stories, I never regretted that he didn’t do more with the novel. To revolutionize two literary forms is surely enough for the reputation of one man. And anyway, as is the case with these things, he did influence the course of the novel, though his own efforts in that direction didn’t amount to much.

It’s not been published but when it is, I’ll definitely be buying a copy. This kind of stuff is why: We could have a conference, hire a hotel for a weekend, thrash it all out, apportion blame for the mistakes and make awards for the small victories. Then, late on Sunday evening we would say our goodbyes and return to our separate lives. [...] [...] John Baker just put the opening chapter of his book Winged with Death up.
