"Uncle Vanya:

Uncle Vanya

Anton Chekhov

Translated and Adapted by Dave Sikula

Pear Theatre

 

Stephen Muterspaugh & Jeffrey Bracco

Pear Theatre presents Dave Sikula’s new translation of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya in language that is modern in flow and feel and in a setting that is intimate and immediate.  Adding a highly talented cast and beautifully orchestrated direction, this Uncle Vanya emphasizes the timelessness of Chekhov’s story and  themes while also providing its own fresh takes on a play written almost 120 years ago and performed worldwide ever since.
