TUTA Theater Chicago: Uncle Vanya June 25, 2009

Anton Chekhov's classic is a blend of tragedy and farce, poignant humor, and deeply human characters. Life at the country estate turns upside down when its owner, a retired and ailing professor and his beautiful young wife, come to live with the other family members who consider it home. Chekhov richly explores what happens when his characters rebel against their own thwarted desires, and act on their passions.
