The current cast, directed by Geoff Bullen, is variable.
The current installment, directed by David R. Ellis from a screenplay by J. Mackye Gruber and Eric Bress, has a ghoulish wit.
Its current "Hamlet," directed by Giles Block, may not have the chic interpretive gloss of the Almeida's "Coriolanus".
The current production, directed by an Englishman, Matthew Warchus (who directed "Art" on Broadway), came about when the director met Ron Kastner, a producer of "Side Man" and other shows.
Writing about the current production directed by Ian Rickson, Mr. Isherwood writes that "although Chekhov classified 'The Seagull' as a comedy," the production "strikes a consistently bleak note".
Still, the current version, directed by Thea Sharrock, has expanded the choreography and the presence of these characters even more significantly.
Among the many pleasures of the current revival (directed by Daniel Sullivan), the most piquant is the revelation that the play is profoundly funny.
In the current revival (directed by Richard Eyre, at the Music Box), a sort of democratic North American earnestness seeps into the main characters, who can't find the sense of superiority that should give Coward's lines their fluting wallop.
Until the current revival, directed by Matthew Warchus for the Roundabout Theater Company, productions of "Follies" scrupulously balanced the show's unsparing portrait of marital disillusion against a glamorous, surreal fantasy of Broadway's Ziegfeld era.
In its current reincarnation, directed by Jo Bonney, "subUrbia" clearly shows the hallmarks of the subgenre it belongs to: a cast of prematurely defeated characters in their early 20's, dehumanizing sex, dehumanizing insults, a throbbing sense of imminent violence and assorted forms of substance abuse that both delay and propel the central action.
