The text below came a flyer for the show:
Tom Leonard, past winner of the prestigious Saltire Prize and one of Scotland's most admired poets and essayists, has been commissioned by Theatre Babel to create a new version of Uncle Vanya.
Understood to be Checkhov's finest play, Vanya is a powerful and witty exploration of unrequited love and thwarted ambition; combining the dazzling characterization and profound understanding of human nature that marks out the work of Europe's foremost classical dramatist.
