Description

Pairing one of the greatest plays ever written, with one of the world’s most celebrated Russian translators comes an exhilarating new version of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. “The most affecting version that I have ever seen… The first Vanya that brought me to tears and made me laugh in places I never had before.” (The New York Times). Mixing the tragic and the absurd in this study of Russian middle-class life, as Vanya and his niece Sonya care for the estate of Vanya’s brother-in-law. When the brother-in-law returns with a new wife, affairs are made known, flirtation brings disaster, and the lives of the family come undone.
