Konstantin is an emotional, passionate young aspiring writer who wants to write on his own terms, not in any conventional manner. He has written a play which is unconventional in both structure and theme. He wants to show it to a small group of people at a makeshift outdoor theater at his Uncle Sorins lakeside estate in the Russian countryside. The group includes his actress mother Arkadina and her lover, famed writer Trigorin. Arkadina and Trigorin are both self-absorbed with their own fame and dismiss Konstantins writing ability. The only person who seems to have any faith in his writing is Dorn, Sorins doctor. Konstantin has gotten Nina, the daughter of a neighboring landowner, to appear as the lead in the play. Konstantin loves Nina, but its not mutual. Although she carries on with poor local schoolteacher Medvedenko, Sorins estates bailiffs daughter Masha loves Konstantin, but that love isnt mutual either. Nina wants to become an actress, but she seems more enthralled with the idea of celebrity than with actually being an actress. The question becomes whether any of these individuals can reach ultimate happiness with their competing desires.
