WORLD PREMIERE

Playwright – Anton Chekhov

Adapted by Joanna Murray-Smith

Director – Mark Kilmurry

On a crumbling country estate, Uncle Vanya and his niece Sonya work tirelessly to preserve their family’s privileges. Visited only by the local doctor Astrov, it’s a lonely, mundane existence. That is until the sudden arrival of Sonya’s father, Professor Serebryakov and his alluring new wife Yelena, awakens long-repressed emotions with devastating consequences.

Celebrated Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith breathes new life into Chekhov’s tragicomedy, unveiling a hotbed of disillusionment and all-consuming unrequited love.
