The Nina Variations

In this funny, heartbreaking homage to Anton Checkov’s The Seagull, the star-crossed lovers Nina and Treplev, are brought together in a room they seemingly can’t leave. The result is forty-two variations on their famous final scene. Steven Dietz, two time winner of The Kennedy Center Fund for New American Plays Award manages to bring all of The Seagull’s characters to life even though the audience only ever sees two. Combining wit and passion, Dietz creates a maze of romantic entanglement rich with the ache of all things left unsaid.
