Andrew Scott brings multiple characters to life in this radical new version of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya.
Hopes, dreams, and regrets are thrust into sharp focus in this one-man adaptation which explores the complexities of human emotions.
Adapted by Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time), Vanya was filmed live during its sold out run at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London’s West End.
***** "Five stars for Andrew Scott in a stunning solo Vanya" Financial Times

What’s the story? Ivan, nicknamed Vanya, has been running his late sister Anna's potato farm in Ireland most of his life, along with his niece Sonia, and Michael, the local alcoholic doctor she's unrequitedly in love with. Sonia's father Alexander, a once-lauded but now largely irrelevant film director, has been living off the farm's profits for decades, but has now retired and come to live there. He has brought with him his eccentric habits, as well as his beautiful but idle new wife Helena - who has caught the doctor's eye.
