About the production
Vanya has spent his life managing his brother-in-law’s country estate, until the professor retires and brings his young wife home, and the household erupts with love, resentment and violence.
“The natural depiction of the human condition onstage is stunningly realized in Senior's rather dark production...In Senior's hands, the stagnant life in Uncle Vanya is both recognizable and compelling.”
— Time Out Chicago, Megan Powell
“This pointed, powerful Uncle Vanya stands on its own, maintaining a fine balance between hilarity and profundity and marking director Kimberly Senior as one of the best interpreters of Chekhov in these parts.”
— Chicago Reader, Kerry Reid
