- Summary:
- Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet' s Uncle Vanya is a sparkling restoration of a masterpiece of the modern stage, marked by Mamet' s finely tuned ear for dialogue and memorable poetic imagery. In "Uncle Vanya," a retired professor and his beautiful young wife return to the country estate left by his deceased first wife to find themselves overwhelmed by the stagnant inevitability of the rituals of their life and class, and mercilessly taxed by the encroachment of age at the expense of youth. All of the play' s characters are plunged into that precarious state where, in Beckett' s words, " the boredom of living is replaced by the suffering of being."
