Uncle Vanya, written by Anton Chekhov and translated by Terry Johnson, centers on the disillusionment of Vanya and his niece, Sonya, who have devoted their lives to managing a rural estate, only to be thrown into turmoil when the aging professor they serve announces plans to sell the property. The play reveals the characters' frustrations, unrequited loves, and deep-seated regrets, leading to a climax of emotional and existential crisis. The experiment is the staging, with the stage transforming and the audience moving from act to act.
Content warning: Mentions of suicide, gun violence, and strong language.
