The Seagull (Irina Arkadina)

Best Classical Production 2014
- Wall Street Journal
Vaishnavi Sharma is wonderful as the self-involved star, making her more human and less indifferent than I’ve seen before without ever underplaying her self-regard.

Sharma's stunning Arkadina, in particular, brings tears to the eyes...
- Theater Mania
Sharma is an authoritative, deeply conflicted Arkadina, especially in the scene in which she plays at being a mother, trying to bandage Konstantin's head; as she tends to the son she has cheated out of any kind of a future, we see in her eyes anger and exasperation battling with genuine affection. Sharma makes abundantly clear that Arkadina sees the slightest emotional demand as a plot against her -- and yet, on some level, she understands her essentially grasping nature. Her performance alone makes a visit to The Seagull worthwhile.
