Uncle Vanya
Uncle Vanya Tickets and Information
Synopsis
Peter Dinklage star in a new production of Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, as part of Bard SummerScape 2008 at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson. The production is directed by Dinklage's wife, Erica Schmidt.
On a country farm owned by the pompous, retired professor Alexánder Serebriakóv, Iván Petróvich (Vanya) languishes in a funk of dyspeptic self-loathing. Ványa has sacrificed his life to support Serebriakóv, and now finds himself sliding into middle-aged obsolescence. He lusts after the professor's young, worldly wife, Yeléna; he carps and quarrels; he contemplates suicide. His friend, hard-drinking proto-environmentalist Doctor Ástrov, chides Vanya for his laziness, but the physician also feels curiously useless. When Serebriakóv unveils his plans to sell the farm, a lifetime of resentment explodes, provoking hilarity and hysteria.
