Vanya

A man has sacrificed the best years of his life managing his brother-in-law's rural estate, only to discover that his devotion has been wasted on a man he no longer respects. When the retired professor and his beautiful young wife arrive for the summer, old resentments, unrequited desires, and crushed dreams come to a devastating head. Simon Stephens's radical adaptation of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, performed by Andrew Scott playing all the characters, strips the play to its emotional essence, a searing examination of wasted lives and unfulfilled longing.
