San Francisco Bay Area Theater Reviews

“Uncle Vanya:

March 6, 2016 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Uncle Vanya
Anton Chekhov
Translated and Adapted by Dave Sikula
Pear Theatre

 

Stephen Muterspaugh & Jeffrey Bracco

Pear Theatre presents Dave Sikula’s new translation of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya in language that is modern in flow and feel and in a setting that is intimate and immediate.  Adding a highly talented cast and beautifully orchestrated direction, this Uncle Vanyaemphasizes the timelessness of Chekhov’s story and  themes while also providing its own fresh takes on a play written almost 120 years ago and performed worldwide ever since.  

Please link to my Talkin’ Broadway review for the full story of this excellent production: http://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj32.html 

Rating: 4 E
Uncle Vanya continues through March 13 at Pear Theatre, 1110 La Avenida Street, Mountain View, CA.  Tickets are available at www.thepear.orgor by calling 650-254-1148.
