Overview
Sonia and her uncle, Vanya, have devoted their lives to managing the
family farm in isolation, but when her celebrated, ailing father and his
charismatic wife move in, their lives are upended. In the heat of the
summer, the wrong people fall in love, desires and resentments erupt,
and the family is forced to reckon with the ghosts of their unlived
lives. This strikingly immediate translation pairs Chekhov’s enduring
masterpiece with one of America’s most celebrated contemporary
playwrights.
