The Seagull
Jan 11 - Feb 8, 2015
A play about the cruelty of love - a story about how we create stories - and about the heartbreakingly wide expanse between the life we live and the life we long for. Chekhov’s The Seagull was a spectacular failure when it premiered in 1895, but has survived to become one of the masterpieces of the modern era. Starring Christine Horne, Tom McCamus, Yanna McIntosh, Eric Peterson, Philip Riccio, Tom Rooney and Bahia Watson, Crow’s Theatre’s award-winning director Chris Abraham will bring to life this astonishingly contemporary play about a family at the end of era, facing an uncertain future. Following Someone Else (2013) and Winners and Losers (2014), Crow’s Theatre presents another powerful production at the Berkeley Street Theatre.

The Seagull makes us ponder the tragicomedy of life

Stratford favourites Yanna McIntosh, Tom McCamus and Tom Rooney mingle with the legendary Eric Peterson, Soulpepper star Gregory Prest and some of the city’s best free agents - Christine Horne, Tony Nappo and Philip Riccio - to incarnate the writers, actors, schoolteachers and civil servants whose happiness is created and smashed up during a summer week at a lakeside estate.

Rooney, playing the famous writer Trigorin, and McCamus, as country doctor Dorn, seem to be in a competition to see who can most underplay their parts.

Seeing New Things in The Seagull: Crow's Theatre stages an insightful and beautifully acted version of Chekhov's classic.
By Martin Morrow January 21, 2015 at 1:15 pm
Masha’s mother Polina (Tara Nicodemo) is carrying on an affair with the local physician, Dorn (Tom McCamus), and trying desperately to get him to run away with her.
....
The slender, balding Rooney seems an unlikely choice for Trigorin-you’d expect him to play Dorn and handsome Tom McCamus to be the much-desired author. But Rooney perfectly captures the aloof attraction of the man, whose seeming diffidence hides a driven personality and a gnawing sense of inadequacy. McCamus, meanwhile, is both dashing and lackadaisical as Dorn, a man resigned to his fate as a country doctor-much to the exasperation of his lover. When Nicodemo’s Polina violently tears to pieces a bouquet of flowers given to him by another woman, you sense she’s motivated by more than simple jealousy.
