';SpectacularThis new Vanya has a conversational smoothness that removes the cobwebs sticking to those other translations that never let you forget that the play was written in 1897 One of the most exquisite renderings of Uncle Vanya I've encountered.' Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times ';Quietly arresting A canny and colloquial world-premiere translation A beautifully rewarding exploration of stunted lives still bending toward the meager sunlight, like wildflowers sprouting from a cracked sidewalk.' James Hebert, San Diego Union-Tribune As the sixth play in the TCG Classic Russian Drama Series, Richard Nelson and preeminent translators of Russian literature, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, continue their collaboration with Chekhov's most intimate play. Other titles in this series include: The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov The Inspector by Nikolai Gogol Moliere, or The Cabal of Hypocrites and Don Quixote by Mikhail Bulgakov A Month in the Country by Ivan Turgenev The Seagull by Anton Chekhov
