### *Uncle Vanya* synopsis
*Sonya and her Uncle Vanya spend their days on a decaying countryside estate where they sporadically receive visits from Astrov, the local doctor. But when her father Professor Serebryakov* — *the owner of the country home *—* comes back out of the blue with his attractive and apprehensive new wife, Sonya and Vanya are in for a shock: Serebryakov wants to sell his house. Soon the "well-mannered" walls come tumbling down as an unexpected dispute uncorks their bottled up feelings with detrimental consequences.*
