UNCLE VANYA, by Anton Chekhov, Adapted by Gavin Bantock
Great Dramas for Student Actors, Vol. 5
The least known but probably the greatest of Chekhov's major plays.
A deeply moving drama of
frustration and failure - unfulfilled love, broken dreams, academic insignificance, thwarted ambitions, and the emptiness of wasted youth.
The main characters - Professor
Serebriakov, his second wife
Elena, his daughter
Sonya, her
Uncle Vanya, and their talkative neighbour
Doctor Astrov - all feel a deep dissatisfaction with their past and present lives and see little hope in the future.
A tragedy about things that
do not happen - punctuated by violent outbursts of passion, impulsive actions and unexpected moments of humour.
A play deeply concerned with the
destruction of the natural environment - a subject highly relevant in the modern world, even though the play was written over a hundred years ago.
