To enjoy this version of Uncle Vanya, two conditions are essential:
Because , at first sight, it is a provocative version- one actor plays all the characters . The manner to do that is not real surprising - the accent on humor sides of each character was present in other adaptations. And Mr. Scott knows to use each nuance in fair - precise manner, fair reminding the play itself and its versions.
But, obvious, it is only an experiment, perfect for Andrew Scott who use, in brilliant way, entire liberty offered by lines , meanings of words and context.
Iloved the final of play, maybe little strident in this case but beautiful crafted.
So, no doubts, Andrew Scott deserves his Vanya and this play is the precious pledge for it.
