UNCLE
VANYA
by
Anton
Chekhov
In a new translation by John Murrell
Venue: Haymarket 1982
Directed by Christopher Fettes
After years of managing his late sister's estate, Vanya has nothing to show for it - no wealth of his own and no appreciation of his efforts. But he is not the only family member smothered by the constraints of Russian provincial life. Thwarted ambitions, unrequited love and bitter disappointments fillthe air but perhaps there is a gleam of light in the distance. | |
