Review: UNCLE VANYA at Berkeley Repertory Theatre Photo
Review: UNCLE VANYA at Berkeley Repertory Theatre
by Steve Murray - Feb 20, 2025

Conor McPherson’s 2020 revitalized translation of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya was hailed as a breath of fresh air and this production, featuring a stellar performance by Hugh Bonneville in the titular role, feels updated, and more humorous than previous incarnations.  The pace of the drama about the ennui of provincial life, unrequited loves, middle-aged disappointments and regrets is quicker and the humor from the updated language doesn’t detract from Chekhov’s work.
