The cast of Uncle Vanya

Marrying the intimacy of the screen with the electricity of live performance, an amazing ensemble cast stars in this Sonia Friedman production of this classic Anton Chekov play. 

Sonya (Aimee Lou Wood) and her Uncle Vanya (Toby Jones) while away their time on an isolated estate, visited occasionally only by the local doctor Astrov (Richard Armitage). However, when Sonya’s father Professor Serebryakov (Roger Allam) suddenly returns with his restless, alluring, new wife Yelena (Rosalind Eleazar), polite facades crumble and long repressed feelings start to emerge.

As the conflicted family are forced to confront their despair, loneliness and each other, can the beauty of life help them find new hope?

Nominated for four Olivier Awards, this new adaptation by Conor McPherson and directed by Ian Rickson was filmed this past August: it's well worth catching this fantastic production in the cinema.
