By: - Apr 30th, 2024Whereas Chekhov's 1897 masterpiece balanced humor and pathos, this modernized rendition prioritizes laughs over hard-hitting emotion. Schreck’s interpretation charms audiences with its humor....up to a point. Her Vanya, the titular ‘hero,’ may be amusing, but he lacks heroic dimension.

At New York’s Longacre Theater
By: - Apr 17th, 2024While the authors tell us that the play is “inspired” by the artist’s personal and political life, unfortunately, all of the “real-life” characters are so hastily established and sketchily drawn, that what we’re left with is a lack of realism and emotional vulnerability. All the characters in this play are like wooden sticks, there is no depth to any of them.
