A "New" VAnya for Londoners

Uncle Vanya - What a pleasure it is to return to London’s new fringe theatre, The Print Room. to see a great classic given a fresh and exciting production! Lucy Bailey has directed Uncle Vanya with such clarity that the message about the state of the Russian nation comes over as prominently as the despair of the individual characters. . . .


Chekhov's  bored  Russians  are  having a  high old time -- last week New Yorkers   rushed  downtown  to  see  Annie Baker's  new translation and Sam Gold's  "living room"   staging at the tiny SoHo rep-- and exhiirating  but physically  uncomfortable  experience.   Now Londoners  get an exciting new look at the play.
