Pitch Perfect Production...an unalloyed joy (Tim Walker, Sunday Telegraph). Adapted by Christopher Hampton, Chekhov's Uncle Vanya blends sparkling wit and earthy humour to brilliant comic effect.
Vanya (Ken Stott), Yelena (Anna Friel), Astrov(Samuel West) and Sonya (Laura Carmichael) are all in love, with the past, with ideals and with each other. As their universe shifts around them they struggle to keep their emotions at bay in this exquisitely evoked comedy of trials and tribulations of the human condition. Anna Friel and Laura Carmichael shine. (Libby Purves, The Times)
