Acrtess Emilia Clarke made her West End debut to critical acclaim in the modern retelling of Anton Chekov’s classic play The Seagull, which will be broadcast to cinemas worldwide this autumn.
The Game of Thrones star takes the lead as Nina in Anya Reiss’ adaptation of Chekhov’s famous tale of love and loneliness, starring alongside Tom Rhys Harries (White Lines), Daniel Monks (The Normal Heart), Sophie Wu (Fresh Meat) and Indira Varma (Obi-Wan Kanobi).
Jason Barnett, Robert Glenister, Mika Onyx Johnson, Gerald Kyd and Sara Powell complete the cast.
The story follows several characters, including Nina, desperately looking for fame and fortune and a way out of her circumstances; a young man pining after the woman of his dreams; a successful writer longs for a sense of achievement, and an actress wanting to fight the changing of the times.
