The New Colossus is an unhinged dark comedy reboot of Anton Chekhov’s classic play, THE SEAGULL.

A family of frustrated, attention-starved artists flocks to the seashore. One of them has a gun…what could possibly go wrong? A darkly comic reboot of Chekhov’s classic THE SEAGULL, this rollicking tale examines the pitfalls of making art and making love in modern day America.
