A Country Life at The Classics Theatre Project

Based on Uncle Vanya by: Anton Chekhov

Adapted by: Terry Martin

Directed by: Joey Folsom

Set in the sweltering fields of rural Alabama, this Southern take on Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya brings simmering tensions to a 1922 farmstead. Johnny sacrifices his life for an ungrateful brother-in-law, whose return—with a young, captivating wife—stirs long-buried resentments and desires. Under heavy skies and slow-drifting days, this adaptation explores love, regret, and the quiet heartbreak of wasted years in the post-war American South.
