Interior
Uncle Victor is a historical comedy inspired by the classic
Russian play, Uncle Vanya, by Anton Chekhov. In this version
O'Neill takes the structure of Uncle Vanya and some characters and
places them on Waverly Plantation in 1899 Louisiana. While the
dialogue and characters are typically Southern, the Louisiana story
perfectly parallels the situation of turn-of-the century Russia,
where a new urban economy was destroying the country's agrarian
base. While Russians were suffering from typhoid and peasants were
going hungry, Southerners were dying from yellow fever and
displaced farmers were starving. In Uncle Victor, the Mallory
family, running Waverly Sugar Plantation, confronts a totally
changed Louisiana.
Also available in Ghosts of New Orleans.
