In the midst of Ninas gushing, Konstantin appears and dumps a seagull that he killed at her feet. The dead seagull is a foreshadowing of Ninas soon-to-be peril, downfall and fragility (she claims later in the play to be a seagull), as well as Konstantins apparent depressive and dependant nature that rests largely on his mothers neglectful shoulders.
So there you go! Watch/read the play Chekhov is the Russian Shakespeare, an exceedingly witty, all-round fabulous writer.

The next scene shows Nina overflowing with love and admiration for the famous writer Trigorin, who just happens to be the lover of Irena (Konstantins Mother - Confused yet?) who insists hes not nearly as good as Tolstoy or Zola.

The play (within the play) talks basically of evil enveloping the planet and destroying everything. During Ninas performance, Konstantins mother laughs and mocks his silly little play (and quite rightly so it is very melodramatic and overzealous), so he ends the play (mid-verse) in a furious school-boy-rage.

The storyline that you see here (from what I know of the original) is of the young woman in white (Nina Zarechnaya). In the opening sequence Nina is performing in a play written by the young writer (also her lover) Konstantin who is the son of famous actress Irena Nicholeyavich. In his play, Konstantin is trying to revolutionise theatrical conventions by conveying the 'action' of the play through words - something Chekhov himself is well known for.

It's quite interesting to see what this piece includes from Chekhov's original play - Not much, though what is there provides a highly interesting piece of dramatic art.
