Uncle Vanya

UNCLE VANYA

“A masterful production… one of the best evenings of London theatre this year”
Evening Standard

“A beautiful production that has the stillness and luminosity of a great painting.”
The Guardian

Vanya, together with his niece Sonya, has sacrificed his life managing the estate of Professor Serebryakov, his former brother-in-law and Sonya’s father. But when the Professor returns from the city with his glamorous young wife Yelena, tensions spiral as their world is thrown upside down.

Chekhov’s tragicomic masterpiece of dashed dreams and thwarted and eternal love returns to the West End in Lev Dodin’s definitive interpretation of this classic play.
