Description Chekhov's Uncle Vanya (1899)...a new translation by Armfield and his Russian colleague, Oleg Bichenkov, has a refreshing, contemporary sound...as always with Chekhov, there is not much of a plot. As he once noted:"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is the day-to-day living that wears you out". That is the basic theme of all his plays.
