Vanya and his niece Sonya have been caring for the family estate for years. Their solitary watch has been broken only by visits from the local doctor, Astrov, but things are about to change. Sonya's father has arrived with his glamorous new wife, and rivalry, unrequited love and long-held resentment are rising to the surface.Vanya is a brand new version of Russian playwright Chekhov’s darkly funny domestic drama, first staged in 1899. Olivier Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time; Sea Wall) adapts the text for this new production, which is directed by Sam Yates (The Starry Messenger; The Phlebotomist), with design by Rosanna Vize. This acclaimed creative team breathes new life into a classic tale of love, art and violence in a production that promises to be a highlight of the Autumn West End season.

Andrew Scott is brilliant. For one person to clearly portray numerous characters so clearly is astonishing. The set is minimal, basic materials so all attention is on the acting. The play is 1 hr 50 mins long, it felt like an hour. Amazing.

Possibly not for Chekov purists, but Andrew Scott is seriously watchable and bought every character (transposed to Ireland) to life with nuanced changes of gait, prop delivery and pitch etc. A seriously remarkable feat of acting.
