​First produced in 1899 by the Moscow Art Theatre, Uncle Vanya is quintessential Chekhov. Through its many adaptations, Uncle Vanya is a timeless tale that theatergoers worldwide have flocked to for more than a century. 
 

Australian playwright Andrew Upton’s 2012 adaptation retains the essence of Anton Chekhov’s seminal work, flavoring it with dialogue that is relatable to contemporary English-speaking audiences. Concurrently, Upton masterfully honors all the themes central to Chekhov’s original work—disillusionment, family conflict, and star-struck love—grounding the story’s melancholic shades with kinetic energy and humor.
