The Bards of Bromley presents the first meeting of a writers' workshop attended by a group of unusually promising authors - William Wordsworth, George Eliot, August Strindberg, A A Milne and Johan Wolfgang von Goethe
The Three Seagulls reveals a Chekhovian comedy with representative characters drawn from each of Chekhov's major plays - as well as a generous selection of his plot-lines
