Rewritten by Anton Chekhov from his earlier play, The Wood Demon, the now treasured Uncle Vanya was the second of his four masterpieces to be produced by the Moscow Art Theater. The change of title signaled Chekhov's re-focusing of the play onto the fulminating, querulous Vanya, an aging would-be lover at the center of a comic menage. The contrast of Vanya's world-weariness with his niece Sonya's simple faith endows this cherished drama with immortal and bittersweet poetry.
