Vanya on 42nd Street

An uninterrupted rehearsal of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' unfolds as a troupe of actors within a dilapidated theater, where an unusable stage and a crumbling ceiling frame their work. The piece advances act by act, with only the briefest pauses to reposition props or refresh themselves. The absence of costumes, real props, and scenery is soon forgotten as the drama takes center stage.
