“Laat alles op die verhoog net so ingewikkeld wees, en tegelyk net so eenvoudig as in die lewe. Mense is besig om te eet, bloot te eet, maar op daardie oomblik word hulle geluk gevorm, of hul lewens word verpletter” (Anton Tsjechow).

Die Universiteit van die Vrystaat se tweede jaars by die Drama departement bring ‘n besondere produksie op die planke onder leiding van Gerben Kamper. Die Seemeeu deur Anton Tsjechow word beskou as een van sy beste toneelstukke en word vanaf die 17de tot die 20ste Maart 2009 in die Wynand Mouton Teater opgevoer. Hierdie is een van die drie realisme toneelstukke wat deel vorm van die module produksies wat die departement terug gebring het.

Anton Tsjechow, 1860 – 1904, het, volgens André P. Brink wat die Afrikaanse vertaling van Die Seemeeu behartig het, vier van die teaterwêreld se grootste stukke geskryf: Die Seemeeu, Oom Wanja, Die drie susters en Die kersieboord. Tsjechow het met hierdie stukke die hoogtepunt in die Naturalistiese - en Impressionistieseteater bereik. Alhoewel Die Seemeeu met die openingsaand in Sint Petersburg in 1896 hopeloos misluk het, was dit wel ‘n reuse sukses twee jaar later toe die Moskouse Kunsteater dit op die planke gebring het. Die mislukking van die eerste opvoering van die stuk het ‘n knou toegedien aan Tsjechow se skrywersdrif en hy het maar min geskryf hierna.

In Die Seemeeu, ‘n komedie, is daar skrywers, aktrises, die dood en hope onbeantwoorde liefde. Om ‘n rowwe idee te gee: Nina, ‘n jong aspirerende aktrise, is verlief op Trigorin, ‘n bekende skrywer, terwyl Trepliow, die seun van die groot aktrise Madame Arkadina, verlief is op Nina. Trigorin, op sy beurt het ‘n verhouding met Arkadina. Tussendeur is daar dan ook Sorin, broer van Arkadina en ook die eienaar van die landgoed waar die handeling plaasvind. Sy voorman, Sjamrajew, se vrou, Polina, het ‘n buite-egtelike verhouding.

Een van die ander, sal ons sê temas, wat in die stuk voorkom is die vernuwing in teater. Waar Arkadina se generasie net gefokus het net op die voorkoms van die opvoering en die oor wat gesê word nie, wil Trepliow dit so verander dat daar gefokus word op die betekenis van dit wat oorgedra word. As gevolg hiervan kry Arkadina en Trepliow stry.

Die rolverdeling vir Die Seemeeu is as volg:

Irina Nikolajewna Arkadina - Edelweiss Bester
Konstantin Gawrilowitsj Treplew - Drikus Saayman
Pjotr Nikolajewitsj Sorin - Quintus Aslett
