Review: UNCLE VANYA at the Harold Pinter Theatre

By Tim Winter Friday, January 31 2020, 21:00

It was fascinating to see this new Chekov production the night after viewing the radical reworking of Dickens by Armando Iannucci in his film adaptation of David Copperfield.

In a reversal of the “modern dress, same old text” conception we are all so used to by now, here we have a film and a theatre production that stick, fairly closely, to 'period' conformity but use modern language and acting styles to jolt us out of our complacency.
