"I’m still shivery, teary-eyed and stunned from seeing Richard Nelson’s devastatingly intimate production of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya,” which opened on Sunday night at the Frederick Loewe Theater at Hunter College." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times
In its inaugural production, the Hunter Theater Project presents the New York premiere of Anton Chekhov's UNCLE VANYA at the Frederick Loewe Theater at Hunter College, directed by Richard Nelson. Translated by Richard Nelson, Richard Pevear, and Larissa Volokhonsky. This production is the first time renowned Russian literature translators Pevear and Volokhonsky will have a work premiere in New York City. The production runs through Sunday, November 18.

UNCLE VANYA
By Anton Chekhov
Translated by Richard Nelson, Richard Pevear, and Larissa Volokhonsky
Directed by Richard Nelson
Featuring Celeste Arias, Jon DeVries, Kate Kearney-Patch, Roberta Maxwell, Jesse Pennington, Jay O. Sanders, and Yvonne Woods
“Lovers of Chekhov have cause for celebration: This is one of the most exquisite renderings of Uncle Vanya
I've encountered, a heartbreaking reading of the play that retains just enough
of the original's sly humor to be truly Chekhovian.”
- Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times
“It has taken a playwright to show us how Chekhov can be staged today.
Nelson's strengths as a director lead him to the heart of what makes Vanya
such an enduring work of dramatic literature.”
- Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times
