This beautifully sensitive production and deeply felt adaptation of Uncle Vanya is like a light in the world. Chris Abraham’s direction illuminates the ache of yearning, of disappointment and lost love. Liisa Repo-Martell’s adaptation breathes a freshness into Chekhov’s timeless play, that enhances it without distorting it.
The cast is sublime. As Uncle Vanya, Tom Rooney gives a masterclass of a performance.
Stunning theatre, all round.
Full review to follow shortly.
