By Anton Chekhov, a new version by Annie Baker. Uncle Vanya tells the story of a group of people living on a rural Russian estate, primarily focusing on Ivan ‘Uncle Vanya’ Voinitsky, who has spent his life managing the property for his brother-in-law, the self-absorbed Professor Serebryakov. When the Professor returns with his beautiful young second wife, Yelena, Vanya and the local doctor, Astrov, become captivated by her, leading to a web of unrequited love, frustration, and a sense of wasted life.
