'Vanya' - Martin Carr's Reel Reviews

Martin Carr's Reel Review of 'Vanya' from National Theatre Live.

Synopsis: Andrew Scott brings multiple characters to life in Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, filmed live in West End, London. Hopes, dreams, and regrets are thrust into sharp focus in this one-man adaptation which explores the complexities of human emotions.

Vanya Proves to Be a Cinematic Tour de Force...

Andrew Scott has come a long way since Sherlock. This instinctive theatrical actor who rose to fame for playing an archnemesis to an effortless Benedict Cumberbatch, comes to cinemas in 2024 thanks to NTLive and Vanya. A reinterpretation of the Anton Chekov play, that finds Alexander, an aging filmmaker withering away within the ruins of a country estate.

Ivan Vanya, the title character and Alexander’s biggest advocate has maintained this property for two decades, ensuring that the older man can pursue his passion for film. Other characters include Sonia, Alexander’s daughter from his first marriage who is besotted by Micheal, a local doctor, as well as Maureen and Liam who both work within the house itself.
