“A MASTER STROKE from director Simon Godwin…Is it too early to say Hugh Bonneville in Uncle Vanya is the show of the year?” –San Francisco Chronicle
“This production, featuring a stellar performance by Hugh Bonneville in the titular role, feels updated, and more humorous than previous incarnations.” –BroadwayWorld
“PERFECTLY BALANCED…This is a Vanya for modern audiences that surely Chekhov would have loved.” –Local News Matters-Bay Area
“STUNNING, star-rich, spectacularly directed Uncle Vanya bursting with dark humor and laugh-out-loud wit.” –Theatre Eddys
By Anton Chekhov
Adapted by Conor McPherson
Directed by Simon Godwin
Produced in association with Berkeley Repertory Theatre
When the distinguished elderly owner of a rural estate returns with a new young wife, chaos erupts. Tensions run high, marriages reach their limits, confessions—and vodka—flow freely, and weapons are drawn. Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Paddington) plays Uncle Vanya in this heartbreaking comedy about the eternal battle between futility and change.
*This title will be presented in a 3/4 thrust.
