Uncle Vanya, Harman Hall - Shakespeare Theatre Company

Hugh Bonneville makes his D.C. debut in STC’s first ever production of a play by Anton Chekhov.

When the distinguished elderly owner of a rural estate returns with a new, young wife, Yelena, chaos erupts. Tensions run high, marriages reach their limits, confessions—and vodka—flow freely, and weapons are drawn. Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Paddington) plays Uncle Vanya, in this heartbreaking comedy about the eternal battle between futility and change.
