THEATER REVIEW: ‘Uncle Vanya’ plays at Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill, N.Y. through May 19
Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill, N.Y. Written by Anton Chekhov, adapted by Conor McPherson. Vanya is 47, single, frustrated, living with his mother and his niece and a few devoted servants in a farmhouse on depleted land far from the woman he loves, who has married Vanya’s aged brother-in-law. His niece, Sonya, is in love with Vanya’s best friend, a doctor who drinks too much and is in love with Vanya’s sister-in-law. At the end of the fourth act, Vanya and Sonya are pretty much where they were at the start of Act One: little changed, still frustrated, and still committed to one another personally and professionally. Playwright Anton Chekhov clearly wants us to know that the incidents in our lives don’t necessarily move us onto a new level of life but merely gently shove us back into our own reality. The current production at Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill, N.Y. uses the talents of many wonderful people to deliver the playwright’s message of the futility of life’s passing experiences.
