Uncle Vanya

Uncle Vanya

Sonia and her uncle, Vanya, have devoted their lives to managing the family farm in isolation, but when her celebrated, ailing father and his charismatic wife move in, their lives are upended. In the heat of the summer, the wrong people fall in love, desires and resentments erupt, and the family is forced to reckon with the ghosts of their unlived lives. This strikingly immediate translation pairs Chekhov’s enduring masterpiece with one of America’s most celebrated contemporary playwrights. “Breathtaking… Heidi Schreck’s gorgeous, colloquial translation… is heartbreaking and profound.” – Variety “Sleek, lucid… Heidi Schreck’s smooth, faithful yet colloquial new version… offers a hundred things to enjoy… a lovely evening in the theater.” – The New York Times
