The Uncle Vanya play centers on the title character and Sonya, his niece. Together, they live on Sonya’s father’s rural farm. However, their peace and isolation break when Sonya’s father and younger wife move in, which causes conflict and tension as they all force each other to confront their lingering desires, haunted pasts, and uncertain futures.
Written by the famous playwright Anton Chekhov, Uncle Vanya is one of his most well-known works. The play premiered in 1899 at the Moscow Arts Theatre to acclaim. Since then, the play received numerous revivals — this production marks the 10th revival of Uncle Vanya on Broadway. Lila Neugebauer, also represented on Broadway this season with Appropriate starring Sarah Paulson, directs.
Previous runs of Uncle Vanya in New York earned numerous honors. The 1974 revival was nominated for three Tony Awards. The 2000 revival, the most recent one until now, received two nominations: Amy Ryan for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play and Tony Walton for Best Scenic Design.
Uncle Vanya also inspired lots of films, including a 2020 filmed performance of the play starring Toby Jones, Aimee Lou Wood, and Richard Armitage in London.
