Andrei Konchalovsky's production commemorates two important events in the world of  literature: 150 years since the birth of A. P. Chekhov and 105 since his death.  UNCLE VANYA is, without a doubt, one of Chekhov's most brilliant plays: elaborate and expressive, full of intertwining psychology and explosive humor, fruitless longings, infinite desperation and futile lives. In a highly detailed manner, the author uncovers the inner worlds of a group of characters in the 19th century, who spend a few days together in a secluded,
lifeless estate.

Andrei Konchalovsky is one of Russia’s most famous directors, and has been widely praised for his interpretations of UNCLE VANYA in film and on stage.   As the Russian Literary Echo states, “Konchalovsky’s production is complex, penetrating and thought-provoking. It stirs up peoples’ souls.  After watching it you have an “aftertaste” for a long time – a desire to pick up a volume of Chekhov and reread, remember and discuss it….”

UNCLE VANYA will be performed in Russian with English translation.
