Helmed by Obie Award winner and frequent Durang collaborator Nicholas Martin, the Anton Chekhov-inspired comedy follows sadsack siblings Vanya (played by Tony Award winner David Hyde Pierce) and his adopted sister Sonia (Obie Award winner Kristine Nielsen) as they deal with a visit from their movie-star sister Masha (Academy Award nominee Sigourney Weaver) and her new boyfriend Spike (Billy Magnussen), the unexpected appearance of a youthful visitor named Nina (Genevieve Angelson), and the disturbing visions of their prophetic cleaning woman (Shalita Grant). The production was originally commissioned and produced by the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey, and transferred to Broadway following a fall 2012 run at Lincoln Center Theater's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater.
