Uncle Vanya at Edge Off-Broadway

AstonRep Productions presents the US premiere of Liisa Repo-Martell's adaptation of Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, directed by Derek Bertelsen. At a remote country estate in the final days of Czarist Russia, Vanya (Rian Jairell) and his niece Sonya (Natalie Hurdle) have spent years sacrificing everything to keep the family farm running, until the arrival of Sonya's aging father (Geoff Isaac) and his younger wife (Andi Muriel) stirs up long-buried desires, resentments, and regrets. Repo-Martell's adaptation, which premiered at Toronto's Crow's Theatre in 2022 and was named one of the top ten productions of the year by both The Globe and Mail and The Toronto Star, is praised for its contemporary and colloquial language. The cast also includes Robert Tobin, Mary Mikva, Liz Cloud, and Mike Rogalski.
