About the Show

Andrew Scott embodies multiple characters in this reimagining of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya.

Fresh from a sold-out London run, Emmy Award® winner Andrew Scott (Ripley, All of Us Strangers) stars in a bold new take on Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, adapted by Tony Award® winner Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time).

In this innovative production, Scott portrays multiple characters, bringing both the humor and heartbreak of Chekhov’s timeless exploration of human nature—our hopes, dreams, and regrets—into sharp relief. Co-created with acclaimed director Sam Yates, Vanya dives deep into the emotional spectrum, forging an intimate connection between actor and audience to uncover the depths of the human soul.
