The Notebook of Trigorin

The Notebook of Trigorin

"The Notebook of Trigorin" is Tennessee Williams' free adaptation of Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull".

The play was first produced in 1981 by the Vancouver Playhouse in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1980, Williams' play "The Red Devil Battery Sign" had been given a new production at the Playhouse by artistic director Roger Hodgman while Williams was Writer in Residence at the University of British Columbia. Invited to return with a new play, Williams confessed his desire to adapt Chekov's "The Seagull". The October 1981 production was confirmed before a single page of the adaptation was written. A 1996 production of the play by the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park directed by Stephen Hollis and starring Lynn Redgrave as Madame Arkadina was the American premiere.
