Originally released in 1922, the novel written by Sinclair Lewis (Nobel Prize winner), garnered immense popularity and critical acclaim. Now, over 100 years later, Tony Award-winning playwright Joe DiPietro has teamed up with Hollywood star Matthew Broderick (who makes his Shakespeare Theatre Company debut) to bring this much anticipated new production to Harmon Hall this fall.

If you thought your family reunions were tough, spare a thought for Vanya, whose life is turned upside down by the appearance of his late sister's husband and his glamorous new wife. Downton Abbey alum Hugh Bonneville takes to the stage to play the titular Vanya, in this STC first production of Chekov's masterpiece of familial strife, directed by Connor McPherson.
