The Off-Broadway transfer of London's Olivier-winning Vanya opened March 18, and the reviews are in. See what critics are saying about the solo version of the Chekhov classic below. The extended run continues through May 11 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.
Andrew Scott is reprising his performance in Simon Stephens' solo adaptation of the Chekhov play. Scott, who was Olivier-nominated for his work, takes on every role in the classic, about a family beset by secrets, illicit love interests, and deep divides over their burdensome estate. Scott and Stephens previously collaborated on Sea Wall and Birdland following the short film The Hope Rooms.
