Summary
A loosely structured family are facing breakdown under mounting pressures of the world around them, none more than the eponymous Uncle Vanya. A middle-aged man in a crisis of values, he is further threatened by dispossession at the han's of his brother-in-law. Passions run high, compounded by idle intrigues of unrequited love. This translation of Uncle Vanya was first produced at the Vaudeville Theatre, London, in 1988 starring Michael Gambon.
