Uncle Vanya
by Anton Chekhov
Adapted by Andrew Upton
First produced in 1899 by the Moscow Art Theatre, Uncle Vanya portrays a society on the brink of change and an uncertain political climate – it was a revolutionary play for its time, written twenty years before the Russian Revolution. Most startlingly, to a modern audience, Uncle Vanya (with a beautifully touching new adaptation by Andrew Upton) offers a timely commentary about the world we inhabit right now.
