Uncle Vanya (Paperback)

"Superior to any other "Uncle Vanya" I've read or seen... Baker practices astonishing verbal magic over and over again." - Clancy Martin, "Paris Review"
"Strikingly intimate... Free of the stilted or formal locutions that clutter up some of the more antique-sounding translations... Ms. Baker has given the play a natural but distinctly contemporary American sound." - Charles Isherwood, "New York Times"
"Devastatingly beautiful... People are going to be talking about this one for years." - Jacob Gallagher-Ross, "Village Voice"
"More than a modern-dress treatment of a classic work, it's a fresh rethinking of the material from the perspective of a modern mind." - Marilyn Stasio, "Variety"
Annie Baker, one of the most celebrated playwrights in the United States, lends her truthful observation and elegant command of the colloquial to Anton Chekhov's despairing masterpiece "Uncle Vanya." A critical hit in its sold-out Off-Broadway premiere, Baker's telling is a refreshingly intimate and modern treatment of a Chekhovian classic.
Annie Baker's plays include "The Flick" (The Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, Obie Award), "The Aliens" (Obie Award), "Circle Mirror Transformation" (Obie Award) and "Body Awareness." Her work has been produced at more than a hundred theaters in the U.S. and in more than a dozen countries internationally. Recent honors include a Guggenheim Fellowship, Steinberg Playwright Award and New York Drama Critics Circle Award. She is a resident playwright at the Signature Theatre.
