Uncle Vanya

BRISTOL OLD VIC AND SATTF

BY ANTON CHEKHOV
DIRECTED BY ANDREW HILTON

Translated by Stephen Mulrine

Uncle Vanya is a moving and often very funny portrait of a family trapped in broken ambition. Jealousy and passion simmer around the samovar, but little changes, even when tempers flare and shots are fired.

An exciting collaboration between two of Bristol’s leading theatre companies, the Bristol Old Vic and Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory, (SATTF), Andrew Hilton directs the Russian classic Uncle Vanya, Chekhov’s masterpiece of human emotion and desire.

Set in a crumbling Russian estate, run by Vanya and his niece Sonya, the arrival of Vanya’s brother–in–law and his beautiful second wife throws their lives into disarray.
