Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker brings her observational prowess and razor-sharp wit to an intimate adaptation of Chekhov's beloved dark comedy. Written with the “goal of creating a version that sounds to our contemporary American ears the way it sounded to Russian ears during the play’s first productions in the provinces in 1898,” Annie Baker’s Uncle Vanya captures the timeless longing, absurdity, and beauty of human relationships.
