Emma Corrin and Kodi Smit-McPhee will join Cate Blanchett in the new adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull at London’s Barbican Theatre in 2025.
Emma Corrin, hot from playing villainous Cassandra Nova in Deadpool & Wolverine, will join Cate Blanchett in the eagerly awaited new adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull at London’s Barbican Theatre in 2025. Ostermeier has also courted Priyanga Burford ( Industry, No Time to Die) to play Polina; Zachery Hart ( Slow Horses, Peaky Blinders) as Medvedenko; Paul Higgins ( Line of Duty) as Shamrayev; Tanya Reynolds ( Sex Education, The Decameron) as Masha; and Jason Watkins ( The Lost Honour of Christopher Jeffries, Trollied) as Arkadina’s wistful brother Sorin. Blanchett follows a long line of theatrical greats, such as Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave, Joan Plowright, Penelope Wilton and Kristin Scott-Thomas, who have performed Chekhov’s Arkadina, a stage goddess whose life offstage is as drama-filled as it is onstage.
