Uncle Vanya

"A refreshingly intimate and modern spin on a Chekhovian classic." Devastatingly beautiful. People are going to be talking about this one for years."? The Village VoiceOne of the most-produced playwrights in the United States, Annie Baker lends her truthful observation and elegant command of the colloquial to Chekhov's despairing masterpiece. A critical hit in its sold-out Off-Broadway premiere, this contemporary telling is "the most intimate and engaging exploration of Chekhov's bleak comedy since Andre; Gregory's Vanya on 42nd Street" (Bloomberg News). Annie Baker's works include The Aliens (Obie Award), Body Awareness, Circle Mirror Transformation (Obie Award), Nocturama, and The Flick. Recent honors include a New York Drama Critics Circle Special Citation, Susan Smith Blackburn Prize nomination, Time Warner Storytelling Fellowship, MacDowell Fellowship and commissions from Center Theater Group and Playwrights Horizons."--
