    • 2007 February 1, Ben Brantley, “In London, Revivals for Now and Posterity”, in New York Times[1]:
      The marvel of Ian Rickson’s rapturous interpretation of Anton Chekhov ’s “Seagull,” which opened last week at the Royal Court Theater and quickly became a must-have and largely unhaveable ticket, is how seamlessly it captures the vital paradox that so often escapes productions of this masterwork: the bursting theatrical fullness to be found in its unfulfilled lives.
