Watch the trailer video for Berkeley Rep's production of Olivier Award-winner Conor McPherson’s stunning adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s masterpiece, UNCLE VANYA. Joining Bonneville (Vanya) is Tony Award winner John Benjamin Hickey (Astrov).

Conor McPherson’s 2020 revitalized translation of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya was hailed as a breath of fresh air and this production, featuring a stellar performance by Hugh Bonneville in the titular role, feels updated, and more humorous than previous incarnations.  The pace of the drama about the ennui of provincial life, unrequited loves, middle-aged disappointments and regrets is quicker and the humor from the updated language doesn’t detract from Chekhov’s work.

The complete cast and creative team has been revealed for Conor McPherson’s adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s masterpiece, Uncle Vanya at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. See who is staring and learn how to purchase tickets.
