‘Wrenching luminescence and redemptive power.” Tom Wood's adaptation of Uncle Vanya is unusual in two major ways. First and most important is the accessibility of the language and its contemporary feeling. This is important both for the actors and the audience. It is rare to find translations of Chekhov that jump forward in our consciousness and strip off the layers of dust and stiffness that distinguish most versions. This effect is partly the language and partly the setting. Northern Alberta in the 20's, with the first War in the immediate past and the depression and the second war looming, is a very close parallel to the Russia of the 1890's. And the people, I have always thought, are closer to Canadians than to the English who have produced most versions. Tom’s rendering of these characters brings them very close to us, without losing any of Chekhov's insights. His actor's ear completes the process by giving each character a special and unique voice.
So the words leap off the page, and Canadian actors have a rich entry into the complex nature of Chekhov's thinking. When, as a teacher, I introduce student actors to the classics, I always look for contemporary versions, and where Vanya is concerned this is the very best.

A remarkable adaptation of the play! This work effortlessly transposes the world of Uncle Vanya to the equally remote setting of Northern Alberta in the twenties. While remaining fiercely loyal to the rich characters and relationships of Chekhov, the adaptation illuminates the play in a powerful way. It captures all the humour, desperation and passion of the original work while finding fresh life in the language and dialogue, allowing the play to live and breathe with a vivid depth and humanity.Product details

VANYA a Play in Two Acts edition by Tom Wood Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
I was thrilled to see this book offered online. I work in the arts and found this adaption an exciting way to bring the classic play back to life for today's audiences and classrooms. Set in Northern Alberta in the 1920's, Vanya's text is beautifully vibrant, funny and present but still respecting the passionately classic tone from Anton Chekhov's version. I look forward to seeing a production of this in the future. Until then, it is a great read and a very helpful and exciting tool for the classroom.
