Who Played Yelena in Uncle Vanya

Yelena is a role in Uncle Vanya, a play that opened Off-Broadway in 2023.

The critically-acclaimed, “sold-out-before-you-heard-about-it” (New Yorker) production of Uncle Vanya in a loft is back for a strictly limited engagement this August. Uncle Vanya sees the lives of Sonya, her uncle, and a visiting doctor disrupted by the arrival of Sonya’s father, Professor Serebryakov, and his restless new wife, the beautiful Yelena. Using Paul Schmidt’s “warm, seamless, and contemporary” (The New York Times) translation, “Off-Off-Broadway hitmaker” (Joey Sims of American Theatre) Jack Serio stages a “fly-on-the-wall, hyper-intimate” (Forbes) new production of Chekhov’s masterpiece at a private loft in the Flatiron District. Tony-winner David Cromer leads an all-star cast in a radical new staging that highlights the immediacy and profound humanity of Chekhov’s enduring classic.

6 actors have played Yelena in Uncle Vanya.
