In the heat of summer, Sonya and her Uncle Vanya while away their days on the remote family farm, only visited occasionally by the radical and inspiring local doctor.

However, when Sonya’s celebrated father, suddenly returns with his charismatic new wife, declaring his intention to sell the house  – the polite façades crumble and long-repressed feelings start to emerge with devastating consequences.

Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya is a masterpiece of modern drama — an aching, darkly comic portrait of wasted potential, thwarted love, and the quiet heroism of endurance. Written at the turn of the 20th century, its emotional truths remain startlingly fresh, speaking to our own age of uncertainty and longing.

Reviews:
“…a masterclass in emotional subtlety, where the silences speak louder than the words.” — The New York Times
“More than a century after its premiere, Uncle Vanya still feels startlingly modern.” — The Times
“Uncle Vanya remains one of the most psychologically acute and emotionally resonant plays in the theatrical canon. — The Telegraph
