National Theatre Live: Vanya

Andrew Scott (Fleabag) brings multiple characters to life in Simon Stephens’ (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) radical new version of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. Hopes, dreams, and regrets are thrust into sharp focus in this one-man adaptation which explores the complexities of human emotions.

Filmed live during its sold-out run in London’s West End, Vanya plays exclusively in cinemas in 2024.

Adapted by Simon Stephens, after Anton Chekhov
Directed by Sam Yates
Designed by Rosanna Vize
