"Conor McPherson's adaptation of Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, which was first performed in 2020, streamlines the drama into a piece full of emotion and immediacy that is also extremely contemporary, even though Chekov's play first premiered and is set more than 100 years ago. McPherson pares back excess without sacrificing complexity, allowing the aching, humor, and quiet desperation at the heart of the story to resonate with clarity in his adaptation that runs just over two hours. Theatre Artists Studio's production features a cast and direction that deliver a rich, accessible take on a classic that feels both faithful to Chekhov's intentions and also freshly alive for contemporary audiences."   - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
