Story4.5 out of 5 stars 69
Adapted by David Mamet from a translation by Vlada Chernornirdik. In this classic of Chekhov’s canon, an overbearing professor pays a visit to his country estate, where Sonya and Vanya, his daughter and former brother-in-law, have slaved to maintain his wealth. But Vanya is enchanted by the professor’s new wife, while Sonya has fallen for the town’s melancholy doctor. Includes a conversation with Rosamund Bartlett, author of Chekhov: Scenes from a Life.

Poor American soap
Reviewed: 10-22-17
It's unfortunate that it sounds like a low budget American tv melodrama... it's distracting, and whether or not this is a style they have chosen It is at the expense of the story.
