The Seagull by Anton Chekhov

A once-celebrated actress, Arkadina dominates every room she enters, leaving little chance for anyone else to shine. Her son, the tormented young playwright Konstantin, yearns to escape her shadow, revolutionise theatre, and win the heart of Nina, a luminous young woman with dreams of the stage. But when Nina's gaze turns instead to Arkadina's lover, the celebrated writer Trigorin, egos and passions collide with devastating consequences.
