If you recognize the outfits, you get that the joke is on her for embracing expensive, superficial sophistication - though the joke is also on you for getting the reference in the first place. Foremost among them is Irene, a successful actress - though only theater-famous, not famous-famous, as a character points out - played by Parker Posey, who strolls around in three different Comey dresses over the course of the production (Qween Jean did the costumes), including one from that NYRB collection. The production transplants Chekhov to the Hudson Valley, recasting the action among a group of very chic, bitter, insular New York intelligentsiacs.
If you are able to recognize a Rachel Comey dress, specifically one from the designer’s collaboration with The New York Review of Books, then The Seagull/Woodstock, NY is a play produced with you in mind.
