WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
On a dilapidated, remote farm, Vanya (Richard Roxburgh) and his niece Sonya (Hayley

frustration, thwarted hopes, and disarray that three consuming love affairs grow.

Rarely have I seen this group of Chekhovian characters, among them the hard-working Vanya (Roxburgh), his dutiful if frustrated niece Sonya (an unusually forthright Hayley McElhinney), visiting country doctor Astrov (Hugo Weaving), and especially Son[...]
