Classic Theatre opens its Second Season with Sexy Chekhov Comedy
The Classic Theatre turns up the heat in their new production of Uncle Vanya. On a once grand country estate in Tsarist Russia, the arrival of Professor Serebriakov and his beautiful young wife, Yelena, throws the residents’ lives into chaos. Serebriakov’s brother-in-law, Uncle Vanya has toiled on the farm for him for many years, only to discover that the professor now has intentions to sell the property, which will leave him and his niece, Sonya, homeless and penniless. The arrival of the dashing Doctor Astrov furthers the tension in the household as both he and Vanya compete for Yelena’s affections. Rich in language and emotion, Uncle Vanya is a passionate character study that expertly weaves laughs and heartbreak as it showcases one of the greatest roles in the theatrical canon.
