Uncle Vanya

Anton Chekhov’s tragicomedy in a bittersweet new adaptation.

Isolated and seemingly beyond help, the weary inhabitants of one country household plunge head over heels in lust when a beautiful stranger arrives. As the owner announces the estate sale for his own gain, the strains of repression and a chaste rural life begin to bubble among the hard-working occupants, until Uncle Vanya himself hits boiling point.

Theatrical Niche’s acclaimed physical theatre team, partnered with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, create an artful, conservation-concerned version of this Russian masterpiece. Heartbreakingly funny, and hilariously dowsed in woe.
