Uncle Vanya by Michael Frayn
A masterpiece of Russian drama, now in a student edition
It is the element of might-have-been in Chekhov's characters that makes their sense of waste so tragic.. I know of no more moving climax in world drama. * Guardian *
Michael Frayn has left his signature upon our contemporary enjoyment of Chekhov...this Uncle Vanya possesses all the scrupulous, subtly idiomatic life we have come to expect from his hand, allied with - and this is the true mark of Frayn - a fine sense of Chekhovian complexity. * Spectator *
