“At night I can’t sleep from frustration and anger that I let time slip by so stupidly when I could have had everything that my old age now denies me” 

Vanya, Act 1

 

Take this rare opportunity to see an Australian translation of this masterpiece of modern drama, as adapted by Aubrey Mellor (Director of NIDA 2005 – 2007).

Arguably Chekhov’s greatest achievement in the dramatic form, this tragi-comedy of thwarted desire exposes how necessary it is to have something to believe in.

Poignant and funny, Uncle Vanya is filled with compassion for the petty, fickle, utterly human beings that we are.

This production contains loud noises and strobe lighting.
