Rapture Theatre Company

Rapture Theatre present John Byrne's contemporary adaptation of Chekov's classic Uncle Vanya.

Relocated to 1960s rural Scotland, Uncle Varick is the moving yet humorous
story of what happens when the rock and roll of Swinging '60s London collides with the rock and moss of remote Scotland.

It follows Sandy Sheridan, pretentious art critic and self proclaimed cultural icon, who returns from London to his Scottish country pile - with his new, much younger, wife in tow.

Waiting for him are his stoical daughter Shona and his acerbic ex-brother in law: Uncle Varick. Add in the handsome local doctor and the not so
handsome neighbour and you have a play full of comedy, jealousy, pathos, passion and lust – and some very dodgy chain saws.
