NOTE: Be sure to check out the revised schedule two posts down...I revised it, since I originally only included the Monday class! Both are included now, with some other minor changes. I'll be giving you the Rough Paper #1 assignment next week as well!
REMEMBER, too, no class on Monday since it's Labor Day! Watch the video instead, and get a jump on reading The Seagull (at least Act One).
The version below is from 1975, a pretty good stage version with some great actors. It might seem a little dated, but it will give you a sense of how this play might sound and be performed, since it was meant to be staged rather than merely read on the page.
Watch to the 35 minute mark, since that's where the Act One fades into Act Two. If you want to watch more, by all means, do, but that's all I'm requiring for next week (though only Wednesday classes will be able to discuss it with me). The translation of this version is different than ours, so don't be surprised if the words don't match up exactly. However, the general sense if the same.

ALSO: Here's a link to the recent trailer for the 2018 film of The Seagull. If you like it, you can rent it on You Tube and watch the whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gc6Orz5XtI
