#002

Start the New Year off with a dose of Chekhov's UNCLE VANYA. This is the beginnings of a weekly pay-what-you-can Zoom workshop with Simon Furness. Together we will discuss, analyse, rehearse and play!

  • Discussion: Spines/Super-objectives for all the characters collectively and individually. Keep it simple (ie a single statement for each character: eg to 'improve things for himself'). Reading the play a lot will help with this.

  • Scene Study: Astrov and Yelena.

  • (Time permitting) Analysis: Act 1 (beginning)

———

‘Sometimes we cut wood out of necessity, but why be wanton?Why? Our forests fall before the axe. Billions of trees all perishing’
- Astrov, Uncle Vanya Act 1

Listen to Simon’s Introduction PODCAST on Anton Chekhov’s classic Uncle Vanya.
