Anton Chekhov's play Uncle Vanya in a new version by Christopher
Hampton. This version will be first staged at the Vaudeville
Theatre, London, on 25 October 2012 and run until 16 February 2013.
'It's often said that the best of the Chekhov plays is the one
you've seen most recently. Uncle Vanya doesn't have a suicide, like
The Seagull, or an adulterous couple and a duel more or less
indistinguishable from murder, like Three Sisters; nor does it seem
to announce the end of an era, like The Cherry Orchard: all it has
is a series of ludicrously bungled attempts at murder and suicide
and adultery. Perhaps these failures are what makes it feel the
saddest and most truthful of these great tragi-comedies, in which,
possibly unique to all drama, not a single word seems redundant or
out of place.' - From the author's introduction.
