To start off the year, we caught a first look at some rehearsal images from Conor McPherson’s (Girl From The North Country) new adaption of Uncle Vanya starring Toby Jones and Richard Armitage.
Directed by Ian Rickson and playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre from 14 January, the production follows the story of Sonya and her Uncle Vanya (played by Toby Jones). When Sonya’s father returns to their home unannounced with his beautiful young new wife, he declares his plans to sell the house. Watch the sad and dramatic tale unravel as the niceties soon begin to fade and repressed feelings come to the surface.
