WENHAM WAITS FOR FLIGHT OF SEAGULL
On the eve of a loud theatrical premiere very responsible and self-critical David worries as the schoolboy.

Augusta Supple "THE SEAGULL"
"Suitably for the the audience Belvoir speaks to, this production for me was very much centred around Trigorin (David Wenham). We watch as he suffers the tyrannical emotional, roller coaster of Arkadina, his fascination with the ever tumultuous Masha, his lust for Nina, we hear of his compulsive writerly observations, thereТs an empathy for him Ц more so than for Kostantin whom previously I had regarded as the focus of the play."

Paul Chai "THE SEAGULL"
"Still, there are great moments, such as thesp David Wenham's delivery of Trigorin's speech on the nature of creation, in which his previously distant scribe passionately likens the urge to write to a disease."

"Famous writer Trigorin (craggily handsome David Wenham), exemplifying typical caddish male behavoiur, is also used as a mouthpiece to analyze the whys and wherefores of creativity and writing and what Сbeing famousТ entails .Lots of thought provoking ideas and issues are raised by him."

Lloyd Bradford Syke "THE SEAGULL"
"And David Wenham is Aleksei Trigorin, a perfect match for Irina, insofar as his oblivious self-absorption. Wenham can be a bit of a mumbler, but he lifted his game as went along. He never quite does it for me, though, as IТm constantly aware of his charismatic, womanТs man Wenhamhood."

James Waites "THE SEAGULL"
"This is only possible because Davis shares the stage with actors who can match her: Bille Brown, John Gaden, David Wenham, Terry Serio, Anita Hegh Ц these are the seniors. How good can casting get! I often cite this as a golden age of acting in Australia."
