“Aaron Posner’s bitingly funny, unexpectedly touching play also delivers significantly more.” —New York Times
“…[a] delightful Chekhov riff…The play defies traditional categories like ‘comedy’ or ‘drama,’ so let’s just settle for calling it ‘fantastic.’” —Time Out Chicago
“Life sucks, maybe, but watching the Posner play is pure bliss.” —DC Theatre Scene
Extended family, former lovers, lifelong friends, and longtime enemies connect, collide, and debate whether or not life really sucks in Aaron Posner’s hilarious update to the classic play, UNCLE VANYA.
