Synopsis: A group of friends and relations gather at a country estate to see the first performance of an experimental play written and staged by the young man of the house, Konstantin (Frank Langella), an aspiring writer who dreams of bringing new forms to the theatre. Among the audience are Konstantin’s self-centered mother, the actress Arkadina, and her lover, the novelist Trigorin.
