Each of Chekhov's skillfully drawn characters -- the vain and self-absorbed theatre diva Irene (Sandra Prinsloo); her ailing and ageing brother Piet (Marius Weyers); the self-doubting, insecure, lovelorn playwright and neglected son Konstant (Albert Pretorius); the naïve, ingenue Nina (Rolanda Marais); the gloomy, alcoholic, dope smoking Masha (Cintaine Schutte); the cheerful philosopher and witness to the drama Dr Eugene (Gerben Kamper); the brash farm manager Elias (Deon Lotz); his long suffering wife Paulina (Martelize Kolver); the puppy dog, poverty-stricken teacher Simon (Geon Nel); and the famous writer Boors (Alyzzander Fourie) -- grapple with inner fears, longings, doubts, regrets, recriminations and miseries. All of them, of course, of their own making.

David Walsh World Socialist Web Site Complacency and a lack of urgency largely prevail. Mayer's Seagull reflects this in its own way. It is not done with tremendous passion or commitment. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review Theresa Smith Weekend Special (South Africa) Sharp, nasty, brittle, thought-provoking, Christiaan Olwagen's film Die Seemeeu makes for uncomfortable but absorbing viewing, like watching a train wreck happen in front of your eyes. Rated: 4/5 Apr 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
