National Theatre Live returns to Guild Hall on Saturday at 7 p.m. with “Vanya,” an adaptation of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya” that was filmed during its sold-out run in 2023 on London’s West End.
In this radical new version of “Uncle Vanya,” Andrew Scott, whose stage résumé includes “Hamlet” and “Present Laughter,” plays all eight characters and brings to life their hopes, dreams, and regrets in the one-man adaptation.
In his New York Times review, Jesse Green wrote, “As adapted by Simon Stephens . . . ‘Vanya’ is deeply serious and generally faithful in its engagement with Chekhov, offering not just a modernized gloss on the play’s language and settings but also a new way of seeing into the heart of its beauty.”
Tickets are $20, $18 for members.
