Uncle Vanya by Antone Chekhov (Translated by Annie Baker)
Presented by the Department of Theatre & Musical Theatre
Directed by Kevin Crouch
Sept. 28–30, 2023 | 7:30 p.m. each evening, 2 p.m. Saturday matinee
Erica Starr Theatre, University Theatre Center
Performances contain adult content.
This intimate, immersive new adaptation of Chekhov’s classic from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker, brings colloquial language to this internationally beloved story of human relationships and yearning. Two obsessive love affairs that lead nowhere and a flirtation that brings disaster. Mixing the tragic and the absurd and dealing with a form that allows for ambiguity and contradiction, Uncle Vanya has been deemed "the first modernist play." Annie Baker’s Uncle Vanya introduces twenty-first century audiences to Chekhov’s enduring wit, insight, and emotional depth.
Free admission. Reservations recommended (936.294.2339).
