Anton Chekhovs play Uncle Vanya in a new version by Christopher Hampton. This version will be first staged at the Vaudeville Theatre; London; on 25 October 2012 and run until 16 February 2013.Its often said that the best of the Chekhov plays is the one youve seen most recently. Uncle Vanya doesnt have a suicide; like The Seagull; or an adulterous couple and a duel more or less indistinguishable from murder; like Three Sisters; nor does it seem to announce the end of an era; like The Cherry Orchard: all it has is a series of ludicrously bungled attempts at murder and suicide and adultery. Perhaps these failures are what makes it feel the saddest and most truthful of these great tragi-comedies; in which; possibly unique to all drama; not a single word seems redundant or out of place. - From the authors introduction.
