Uncle Vanya - 2024 - 7/10

Vanya and his niece have managed the large rural estate for years.
The money flowing to his brother-in-law, The Professor, a pompous, untalented scholar.
Forcibly retired, the penniless sponger arrives with a much younger trophy wife.
Insists on changes to the daily routine to suit his predilections.
Meanwhile, the trophy wife catches the eye of menfolk.
Chekhov’s play skews class and education, industry and indolence.
Well acted, although like “Hamlet” I have never warmed to this play.
Others laughed throughout.
Acquired taste.
