Description
Uncle Vanya is a masterpiece of Russian theatre, set in late nineteenth century Russia. This student edition features the definitive translation by acclaimed playwright Michael Frayn and includes expert annotations to help understand the play. The major dynamics between the characters are centred around two obsessive love affairs that lead nowhere and a flirtation that brings disaster. The play explores themes of provincial life and the enervation of middle-class Russian society, mixing tragedy and absurdity in a way that allows for ambiguity and contradiction. This edition includes a chronology of the playwright's life and work, an introduction to provide background on the play, a discussion of various interpretations, and notes on individual words and phrases in the text.
