In the waning days of Czarist Russia, Ivan “Vanya” Voinitsky, and his niece, Sonya, toil ceaselessly to run their family estate. After retiring, Sonya’s father, a celebrated professor, returns to the estate with his young, glamorous wife. When he announces his plans to sell the land and evict them all, passions explode and lives come undone.
A dazzling cast breathes new life into Chekhov’s masterpiece in a new adaptation by Liisa Repo-Martell. Brimming with emotional intensity, comedic genius, and tragic weight, this Crow’s Theatre commission and world-premiere adaptation provides an up-close encounter with a classic of world drama that every theatre lover must see.
Written by Anton Chekhov
Adapted by Liisa Repo-Martell
Directed by Crow’s Theatre Artistic Director Chris Abraham

"EXHILARATING. UNFORGETTABLE. Tom Rooney is riveting Vanya. bahia watson is luminous Sonya. Ali Kazmi is a sexy Astrov. Performances honed to perfection. You emerge happy.
Great art will do that, especially when rendered with the sensitive and insight of this production."
