	‘Vanya on 42nd Street’ (PG)
		At the beginning of Louis Malle's "Vanya on 42nd Street," members of a theatrical cast struggle through the noisy bustle of Times Square on their way to a rehearsal of Anton Chekhov's play "Uncle Vanya." Even before the run-through begins, the performers complain that they are burned out, overworked, too tired to carry on.
		Vanya (Wallace Shawn), for example, has sacrificed his own chance for intellectual distinction by devoting himself tirelessly to the labors of his father-in-law, Serybryakov (George Gaynes), a scholar whose career never took off in the way his family had hoped.
		Vanya is a defeated figure with nothing to live for, and at times Shawn's portrayal of the character's anger is so savage that it verges on the insane.

	SparkNotes: Uncle Vanya: Themes, Motifs, and Symbols
		Uncle Vanya is thematically preoccupied with what might sentimentally be called the wasted life, and a survey of the characters and their respective miseries will make this clear.
		Uncle Vanya, the eponymous hero (an eponym being a real or imaginary person for whom something is named), is deeply embittered over having spent his life toiling for the benefit of Serebryakov, a once-worshipped scholar that Vanya has discovered to be a charlatan.
		Vanya's mother Maria pathetically fends off her unhappiness by studying pamphlets.

	Artsandentertainment: 'Uncle Vanya' shows its lighter side
		Vanya and Serebriakov's grown daughter, Sonya, tend to the farm's constant demands.
		But we're still meant to feel sadness for Vanya, Sonya and their friend, the country doctor Astrov, for all they have given up in the name of duty.
		Douglas Jones brings a bit more touch of the tragic to Vanya, but even he comes off as a man whose demons - depression, drink, loneliness - are held at bay by his humor and his love for his family.

	Vanya
		Vanya is literally haunted by the man he might have been: ‘‘Day and night like a fiend at my throat is the thought that my life is hopelessly lost.''
		Uncle Vanya was scheduled to premiere at the Maly Theater in Moscow, but the Theatrical and Literary Committee overseeing it and other imperial theaters asked Chekhov to make substantial revisions to the play.
		Uncle Vanya is widely considered to be his greatest achievement in the latter genre and a masterpiece of modern drama.

	Stephen Dillane in Uncle Vanya
		In this "Vanya," a," miscommunication cuts so deep that such mistakes naturally arise: She's orphaned from the love any daughter has a right to expect even as she falls for the love of the doctor, Astrov, whose bedside manner is focused elsewhere.
		Vanya carries his body like a physical burden; he has also absorbed his suffering to the point where he is nourished by it.
		Vanya is an angry obsessive who sees everywhere a mockery of his own wasted potential: when his mother refers to him as a "guiding light" he reacts with undisguised venom.

		Seemingly as a labor of love, stage director Andre Gregory assembled a talented cast to rehearse and refine Mamet's work for years until, in 1994, film director Louis Malle proposed that the play be brought to the screen.
		Shawn, perhaps best known for his satirical and droll performances, is surprisingly effective as Vanya, unable to cope with having thrown his life away for the gratification of the ungrateful.
		Vanya is a bit glum, but the wonderful words and the depth of emotions and the performances...

	Understated 'Vanya' keeps Chekhov in check
		Despite some winning and insightful moments, there is something lackluster about this "Vanya." And overall it lacks the sense of deep frenzy and desperation and thwarted passion so crucial to holding this work together, and to making you believe life-altering things are really at stake.
		The estate is being kept alive by that middle-aged failure Uncle Vanya (Ross Lehman) and his beloved niece Sonya (Kate Fry), who buries her heart in her work.
		Vanya is madly infatuated with Elena, who just happens to be very taken with the local physician and environmentalist Astrov (Shawn Douglass).

	Vanya on 42nd Street (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		We meet Vanya (Wallace Shawn), the fortyish manager of the estate of Serybryakov (George Gaynes), who was married to Vanya’s sister and since her death has not only squandered all of her money, but has also married the much younger and beautiful Yelena (Julianne Moore).
		The characters are more or less aware of the fact: most of all Vanya, who seems to be suffering (to put it in purely banal terms) a “mid-life crisis,” which causes him to see his life as having been wasted working for others, and holding those others responsible for his losses.
		Vanya on 42nd Street is a must for lovers of the theater and great acting.

	Vanya on 42nd Street (1994): Wallace Shawn, Julianne Moore, Brooke Smith - PopMatters Film Review
		Vanya on 42nd Street may not be his greatest film, as Taylor trumpets, but it's more than a worthy capper to Malle's brilliant career.
		Vanya himself is the narrative's dramatic engine: everyone suffers silently, but he rages, lashing out after realizing that his life has been spent doing meaningless work.
		By the end, even Vanya has been pacified, resigned to accept that the rest of his life will not be any easier than the years behind him.

	Vanya
		The Uncle Vanya of the title, Voynitsky is forty-seven years old, stylishly dressed, and yawning when he first appears in Act I. A year before the play opens, he realized that he'd wasted his life by working to support the professor, whose great genius turned out to have been illusory.
		Vanya is in love with Yelena, whom he urges to take better advantage of her youth than he did.
		After months of grumbling, Vanya erupts into violence when the professor proposes that the estate be sold so that he and Yelena can purchase a villa in Finland.

		Uncle Vanya is crying, but Astrov whistles!" Stanislavsky got no further explanation from Chekhov, but he immediately integrated the new stage direction into his performance, interpreting it, or perhaps misinterpreting it, as Astrov's loss of faith in humanity.

	Theater \| (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		In the course of four acts, Vanya, the disillusioned caretaker of his late sister’s estate, chafes under the pompous yoke of her widowed husband, the professor Serebriakov, who has retired to the rural outpost with his beautiful, idle young wife.
		Subtext is translated into action, as when Vanya tips Serebriakov out of his wheelchair or the professor, bidding an ostensibly civil farewell to Astrov, who has all but bedded his wife, throws a drink in his face.
		And the performances, particularly by Thomas Derrah as a dissipated, viciously bereft Vanya and Arliss Howard as a quizzical, sexually dangerous Astrov (in whom there is an odd smack of Fiddler on the Roof), are edgy and strong.

	Variety.com - Reviews - Uncle Vanya
		With "Uncle Vanya," the reverse is the case, a lifeless, aimless presentation of a century-old play that has not only stood the test of time but is currently so in vogue that several readings are available to the Chekhov enthusiast.
		Courtenay capably plumbs the depths of Vanya's sadness and humiliation as he falls under the spell of Serebryakov's alluring new wife, Yelena (Amanda Donohoe).
		But this "Vanya" never comes to life, and it pales before the most significant "Vanya" of our time, Andre Gregory's utterly engrossing "Vanya on 42 nd Street," adapted for film by Louis Malle, with Wallace Shawn in the title role and Larry Pine as Astrov.

		As a non-Russian and non-Russian speaker I have loved Chekhov since the time I was able to distinguish great writing from mediocre and I have always felt that no matter how fine a given translation I was still losing the occasional untranslatable nuance to which Russian speakers have access.
		Vanya is also one of my favourite Chekhov plays and I just wallowed in this wonderful version.
		The first time he tips his glove is via Wally Shawn's cup which has I Love NY written on it then later Andre explains to the visitors (who, I suspect, have been planted there for just that purpose) that it's now a different time.

		These two clash throughout the play, but their quarrels are hardly are as embittered as those between Uncle Vanya (Robert Neal Marshall) and Professor Serebryakov (Michael Keating).
		Yelena (Marianne Angelella), the professor's wife who happens to be about 30 years his younger, is a stunning young woman for whom all the men seem to have an affinity.
		Vanya is clearly crushing on Yelena, and the fact that the professor has taken over his deceased sister's estate doesn't help at all.

		In his absence, the professor’s affairs have been managed by his brother-in-law, Vanya, and Sonya, the daughter from his first marriage to Vanya’s sister.
		Vanya barely conceals his hatred for Serybryakov — he is resentful of his years of relentless toil, blames the professor for his sister’s untimely death and has always desired Yelena.
		For the intellectually minded or for those who love theatre, Vanya on 42nd Street offers an extraordinarily rewarding experience, beautifully poetic in its simplicity and heart-breaking in its naked portrayal of human inner conflict.

	Stage Review: PICT makes superb addition to 'Vanya' family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Nothing shows that better than "Uncle Vanya" (1899), and the attraction and strength of the Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre's staging of playwright Brian Friel's adaptation is its robust comedy.
		Vanya may be Chekhov's greatest character, which is saying a lot, and Giles plays him robustly.
		This acting is matched by Paul's direction, with many magic moments: Vanya's befuddled first entrance; Yelena's arrival, electric in costume designer Pei-Chi Su's creamy hat and gown; and the final tableau, Vanya and Sonya drifting into a blank future.

	RollingStone.com: Vanya on 42nd Street Review
		Try unforgettable; at least it was three years ago when a vivid cast, headed by Wallace Shawn as Vanya, brought the 1899 Russian play a hot-damn urgency.
		Shawn's bristling Vanya spits contempt at his aging professor brother-in-law (George Gaynes) for marrying the beautiful Yelena (the superb Julianne Moore) and squandering funds from the family estate.
		Homelessness is a possibility for Vanya and his plain, diligent niece Sonya (Brooke Smith).

	"Uncle Vanya"
		Vanya, sensitive and intelligent, is hopelessly smitten with Yelena and envious of the fascination the pompous professor undeservedly exudes.
		Irritated by Vanya and unwilling to yield to her fascination with Astrov, she plays intermediary for the plain Sonya, who vainly yearns for the doctor.
		The cast is rounded out by Maria Vasilyevna, Vanya's widowed mother, another woman taken in by Serebryakov; Telegin, a ruined landowner and permanent parasitic houseguest; and Marina, the faithful old nanny.
