Take a look inside the rehearsal room of Conor McPherson‘s highly anticipated adaptation of ‘Uncle Vanya‘ featuring Toby Jones and Richard Armitage.
Chekhov’s masterpiece is a portrayal of life at the turn of the 20th century, full of tumultuous frustration, dark humour and hidden passions.
Toby Jones (The Birthday Party, Don’t Forget the Driver, Detectorists) will star in the title role of Vanya alongside Armitage (The Crucible, Berlin Station, The Hobbit) as Astrov. The production will see Armitage on stage for the first time following his acclaimed performance in The Crucible at the Old Vic in 2014.
The cast also features Rosalind Eleazar (The Personal History of David Copperfield, Deep Water, The Starry Messenger) as Yelena, Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education, Downstate) as Sonya, the Emmy Award-winning Anna Calder-Marshall (LOVE, Evening at the Talk House, Male of the Species) as Nana, the Olivier and Tony-award nominated Dearbhla Molloy (The Ferryman, Dancing at Lughnasa, Juno and the Paycock) as Grandmaman, Peter Wight(The Birthday Party, Hamlet, The Red Lion) as Telegin and Olivier Award-nominated Ciarán Hinds (Translations, Game of Thrones, Girl from the North Country) as Professor Serebryakov.
Conor McPherson’s adaptation is directed by Ian Rickson.
Uncle Vanya runs from 14 January 2020 until 2 May 2020 at the Harold Pinter Theatre, London.
