We need the theatre, couldn't, couldn't do without it. Could we?

Notă biografică

Duncan Macmillan is an English playwright, screenwriter and director. His plays include: an adaptation (with Thomas Ostermeier) of Chekhov's The Seagull (Barbican Theatre, London, 2025); People, Places and Things (National Theatre / Headlong, 2015); Every Brilliant Thing (Paines Plough and Pentabus, 2013); an adaptation (with Robert Icke) of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (Headlong / Nottingham Playhouse, 2013); and Lungs (Washington D.C., 2011).

Thomas Ostermeier is a German theatre director, acclaimed for his innovative and often iconoclastic productions of classic and contemporary plays. He is the Artistic Director of the Schaubühne in Berlin.

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), a physician by training, is now considered the most notable 20th-century Russian dramatist. His major plays, all staged by Stanislavsky at the Moscow Art Theatre, helped establish psychological realism in European theatre.
