People are going to be talking about this one for years." - Jacob Gallagher-Ross, <I>Village Voice</I><BR><BR>"More than a modern-dress treatment of a classic work, it's a fresh rethinking of the material from the perspective of a modern mind." - Marilyn Stasio, <I>Variety</I><BR><BR>Annie Baker, one of the most celebrated playwrights in the United States, lends her truthful observation and elegant command of the colloquial to Anton Chekhov's despairing masterpiece <I>Uncle Vanya</I>.
