Cuckfield Dramatic Society presents

Uncle Vanya

by Anton Chekhov

October 2017:  Consistently rated as one of the world's top plays Uncle Vanya has as much drama as any soap opera, with themes including family relationships, breakdown, money, and love!  Set on a remote country estate in pre-revolutionary Russia, the story shows the dramatic fall out when the routine of daily life is disrupted by relatives from the city and seething discontent and latent passion come to the fore...

• Cuckfield Dramatic Society have a track record of producing top quality shows with plaudits from both critics and audiences for both their comedies and dramas.

Written in 1897, Uncle Vanya is arguably the first modernist drama, full of conflict, unrequited love, frustration, rivalry, jealousy and a sprinkling of hope. It examines the complicated interaction within a group of people, secluded in a country estate in Czarist Russia. The play is filled with dramatic irony and with overwhelming themes of introspection, ennui and dashed dreams.

What makes this play great? Why has it stood the test of time? The themes of political and social change resonate with many eras as well as the present, the references to conservation and how man has impacted upon climate change and looking back to what could have been, make this a timeless classic.

• The show runs Wed 25^th Oct to Sat 28^th Oct nightly at 8pm, at the Queen’s Hall in Cuckfield
• Tiered seating and floor level tickets cost from just £7 and can be purchased with no online booking fee via cdsweb.co.uk/tickets or at Marcus Grimes in Cuckfield High Street.
