The director diverges from the classical interpretation, producing a Seagull which is a novelty in Romania. He emphasizes Chekhov’s subtitling of the play as,  “a comedy”. Using the bitter humour that results from the characters’ inability to distinguish reality from illusion, Andrei Şerban creates a comedy of life that ends with a suicide.
