Dallas Actor's Lab presents the Texas and regional premiere of Annie Baker's new version of Chekhov's masterpiece, UNCLE VANYA February 5-22, 2015 at the AT&T Performing Arts Center Wyly Theatre 9th Floor as part of the ELEVATOR PROJECT!
Featuring audience members on 4 sides and seated on couches, this intimate, modern-dress, immersive new adaptation of Chekhov's classic from critically-acclaimed playwright Annie Baker, author of Body Awareness, Mirror Circle Transformation, and The Flick, brings colloquial language to this internationally beloved story of human relationships and yearning. Written with the “goal of creating a version that sounds to our contemporary American ears the way the play sounded to Russian ears during the play’s first productions in the provinces in 1898”, Ms. Baker's Uncle Vanya introduces 21st century audiences to Chekhov's enduring wit, insight, and emotional depth.
