Direct from a sold-out run in London, Andrew Scott (Ripley, All of Us Strangers) brings to life multiple characters in Tony Award® winner Simon Stephens' (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) radical new version of Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya.
Comedic and tragic, Chekhov's examination of our shared humanity - our hopes, dreams, regrets - is thrust into sharp focus in this production co-created by acclaimed director Sam Yates.
VANYA explores the kaleidoscope of human emotions, harnessing the power of the intimate bond between actor and audience to delve deeper into the human psyche.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Vanya
Vanya: One Man, Nine Characters, Considerable Tragicomedy
8 / 10
Olivier Award winner Scott takes great care to assign a distinct voice and defining mannerisms to each role: Sonia carries a kitchen cloth; the housekeeper, Marina, stands at the kitchen counter, dragging on a cigarette; Helena sounds distracted and breathy, fiddling with her slinky gold necklace as she speaks. Michael is deeply serious, and for some reason likes to play with a tennis ball. All it takes for Scott to slip in and out of each character is a turn, or a walk behind a door. He’s a marvel.
Review: Eight Andrew Scotts in a Heartbreaking Solo ‘Vanya’
9 / 10
What makes the production exemplary, like the play itself, is the emotion. I hate to think why Scott is such a sadness machine, but the tears (and blushes and glows and sneers) lie very shallow under his skin. He only rarely raises his voice. As the feelings are evidently coming directly and carefully from his heart, he narrowcasts them directly and carefully at yours.
