Synopsis: | A young woman living in a communal apartment is in despair because the love of her life has abandoned her and left the country. She is surrounded, however, by great and eccentric friends who do everything in their power to buoy her spirits. They party, engage in long late-night conversations, and generally go about living the life any young person should - loud, lively and independent. The spirit of love lost, however, is a mighty and, sometimes, terrible transforming force that cannot be denied. | |||||

Synopsis: | Vasily Okhlobystin is a hospitable man approaching that age when he suddenly realizes there is no turning back to youth. He loves Tanya, who, although angry at her husband for his not-so-innocent flirtations with a Girl also named Tanya, cannot and will not return Okhlobystin's affections. Tanya does move into Okhlobystin's house along with his other house guest, the delightfully obtuse and ferociously independent Zina, long enough to get a perspective on her husband's behavior. Zina loves Okhlobystin, who sees in her little more than an outlet for his flirtatious energy. Ivanov's jealousy of his wife leads him to ignore the Girl, who suffers her rejection so deeply she is barely able to tolerate the devotion which the Boy heaps on her. He drowns his sorrows by courting the significantly older Zina, who, out of pity and understanding, encourages him more than Okhlobystin would have her do. In the middle of this highly ironic swarm of fluctuating affections, the comic figure of the Worker-named Uncle Vanya-appears to repair the damage done to Okhlobystin's house by the jealous Ivanov. The play rings with laughter, hope and music, and it rings with the transparent but insistent warning that behind the intense joys of life something potentially dark and hollow lurks. | |||||

Synopsis: | The Moscow of this play is caught in the grips of an unidentified war that no one wants to acknowledge. It doesn't matter that "heroes" are coming home from the front, and that airplanes are strafing the city - no one pays any attention. Old and young are busy falling in love, climbing the heights of bliss or falling clumsily into the despair of losing love. Who has time to think of war when life is so rich and deceitful? And who are those two strange old women who repeatedly interrupt the goings-on, spouting a mix of nonsense and wisdom? What are they trying to say? | |||||
