-

This new version of Chekhov's classic by Pulitzer Prize-winner Annie Baker (Circle Mirror Transformation, The Aliens, The Flick) is a revelation, bringing modern language to this timeless story of relationships and yearning. Written to create “a version that sounds to our contemporary American ears the way the play sounded to Russian ears during the play’s first productions,” Baker’s award-winning Uncle Vanya reintroduces audiences to Chekhov's enduring wit, insight, and emotional depth. It was hailed as one of the top 10 shows of 2012 by both The New York Times and New York Magazine. John Vreeke (The Lyons) directs an all-star cast of DC actors in an inventive production that re-envisions our performance space.
