When the distinguished elderly owner of a rural estate returns with a new young wife, chaos erupts. Tensions run high, marriages reach their limits, confessions—and vodka—flow freely, and weapons are drawn. Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Paddington) plays Uncle Vanya in this heartbreaking comedy directed by STC's Simon Godwin about the eternal battle between futility and change.
