Uncle Vanya By Anton Chekhov

Following his bold reimagining of Oresteia, currently running in the West End, Almeida Associate Director Robert Icke directs a new production of Chekhov’s greatest play. Paul Rhys makes his Almeida debut in the title role.

Things your life could be:
(1) a farce.
(2) a tragedy.
(3) pointless.
(4) all of the above.

Things you could do about it:
(1) keep living.
(2) stop living.
(3) stop someone else living.
(4) nothing.

Even so, what has your life been worth?

Chekhov’s late masterpiece examines human behaviour in all of its beautiful, terrible, laughable contradiction.
