Emilia Clarke stars in a reimagined classic
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke makes her West End debut in a sharp and stylish revival of The Seagull from visionary director Jamie Lloyd.Four individuals converge in a remote country house: Nina, an aspiring actress; Konstantin, who dreams of being a celebrated playwright; Trigorin, an acclaimed but unfulfilled writer; and Arkadina, an ageing star of the stage. As their hopes and dreams fall apart, the four begin to turn on one another.
Emilia Clarke stars as Nina in her first West End role. Clarke is best known for her Emmy Award nominated performance as Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones.
Further casting includes Tom Rhys Harries as Trigorin, Daniel Monks as Konstantin, Indira Varma as Arkadina and Sophie Wu as Masha.
Director Jamie Lloyd’s anticipated production, adapted and updated from Chekhov by Anya Reiss, forms part of a new season alongside the return of his Olivier Award-winning re-imagining of Cyrano de Bergerac, starring James McAvoy.
Jamie Lloyd's innovation mixed with Emilia Clarke's star-power makeThe Seagull tickets unmissable for both theatre-lovers and brand new audiences.

Superb cast, but the staging was a little too pared back for my liking - felt contrived and strangely distracting! Indira Varma was incredible in her complex role - I both loved and loathed her at various points.
