Uncle Vanya. But without. You know. Uncle Vanya. An existentialist take on Chekhov’s classic work, where Astrov, Sonia & Yelena are left to figure the story out on their own. Created with scenes from the original text, woven together with letters between he and his muse, Olga Knipper of the Moscow Art Theatre (for whom the role of Yelena was written), and new content from Philadelphia playwright, Alice Hakvaag. What is a play without its titular role? Who gets a say in the way we preserve stories? And how far CAN you get before the infamous Chekhov's gun inevitably rears its ugly head?
