Deep Dish Theater Company's eighth season continues with Uncle Vanya, Anton Checkhov's classic tale of love, loss and inconvenient truths. It will be directed by Deep Dish Artistic Director Paul Frellick and will run from February 19 to March 14 at the company's home in Chapel Hill's University Mall. The play takes place in the waning days of 19th Century Russia, as the celebrated professor Serebryakov (Tom Marriott) returns to his rural estate with his young wife Yelena (Anne-Caitlin Donohue). Their arrival throws the household into upheaval, disrupting the quiet lives of the professor's daughter Sonya (Page Purgar), her uncle Vanya (Mark Filiaci), the local country doctor Astrov (David Berberian) and the estate's other occupants. Like all of Chekhov's plays, Uncle Vanya paints a portrait of a discontented aristocracy watching their traditions slip away, yet seeing no clear future.
