What if your life didn't turn out the way you hoped? In Uncle Vanya Look at people caught in the middle of it. Loves that are unrequited. Work that yields nothing. And a future that always remains just out of reach.
Powerful editing with a top cast
Toneelgroep Maastricht presents a new version of Chekhov's masterpiece, directed by Michel Sluysmans. Jeroen Spitzenberger plays Vanya, who suddenly questions his entire life when his family wants to sell their farm. Longing wells up. Masks fall.
Hard work, soft desire
Sonja, Jelena, Astrov—each struggles in their own way. With love, loneliness, disappointment. They want something different. Something bigger. But how do you break away from the life you've been living for years?
Recognizable and tragicomic
The tone is sometimes lighthearted, sometimes painfully poignant. You'll recognize yourself, or someone else. And that makes this classic timeless. There's a free pre-performance discussion at 7:30 PM, perfect if you want to get more out of the performance.
