Wheelhouse Theater’s (Happy Birthday, Wanda June) critically acclaimed and Drama Desk nominated production of Aaron Posner’s explosive new play transfers to Theatre Row.

It’s Chekhov without the birch trees.

After taking aim at The Seagull with his “explosive” Stupid F*cking Bird, Aaron Posner is back with an irreverent contemporary remix of Uncle Vanya.  Egos clash, hearts hunger, and souls cry out for meaning in this raw and hilarious reimagining of Chekhov’s timeless classic.

Life staggers. Life confounds. Life is beautiful. And Life Sucks.
