A young artist stages an experimental production in his backyard, a famous Russian actress visits her family in provincial America, and everyone is in love with each other.
​
For the first show in our second season, Dacha returned to our roots with a multilingual, backyard take on The Seagull by Anton Chekhov. We combined parts of existing translations, our own translation, bits of the original Russian text, and new whimsical additions to create a “tra-daptation” of Chekhov’s Chaika.

In September 2017, Dacha produced The Seagull by Anton Chekhov in a very familiar setting – an early autumn evening in a Phinney Ridge backyard. Mike Lion directed this "tra-daptation," treating the Chekhov text playfully and including sections of the original Russian.
​
The entire process was done in just 14 days, with only four public performances in a Phinney Ridge backyard. Not many folks were able to see this low-capacity show, and so now we're inviting you into our digital backyard to watch a stream of our archival footage!
