Video: Andrew Scott Runs From VANYA Curtain Call to Screening in Costume

Andrew Scott went from Vanya on stage to Vanya on screen all in one night! After finishing a recent performance of his one-man play at the Lucille Lortel Theatre Off-Broadway, the actor ran from the stage, to the stage door, and then immediately to a screening of the live capture of the play.

A new video shows Scott stepping offstage at the Off-Broadway production, before greeting fans at the stage door and then dashing through the rain in New York City to surprise audiences at a screening of the filmed London version. The actor walked from the Lucille Lortel to the Jack H. Skirball Center For the Performing Arts to take his bow in front of an audience at the screening.
