Anton Chekov's The Seagull (play, outdoors)
In a new original translation by Diego Arciniegas, Anton Chekhov’s classic emerges as a complex, ironic dark comedy wrapped within the powerful tendons of unrequited love, jealousy, regret and artistic ambition. On a fading country estate in rural Russia, celebrated artists, their family and servants weigh their lives, hoping to defy the obstacles to their dreams, or find comfort in consigning themselves to the inevitable.
The Publick Theatre is located in Christian Herter Park. 1175 A Soldiers Field Road, Brighton; directly across the street from WBZ-TV. The theatre is fully wheelchair accessible and has acres of free parking.

Noel Coward's Hayfever (in repertory with The Seagull) (play, outdoors)
A weekend with the unconventional Bliss family proves anything but paradise for a quartet of bewildered guests in this domestic comedy by the incomparable Noel Coward. Actress Judith Bliss has once again retired from the London stage, but days spent in the garden of her country home are growing tedious. To perk her spirits, she’s invited an adoring male fan to spend the weekend. Little does she know her novelist husband David, and both her children, have company of their own on the way. The house soon overflows with people and agendas, and, as the family’s artistic temperaments quickly surface, their bewildered guests get an unvarnished look into the surreal lives of the creative class.
