Uncle Vanya is a realist play by the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, first published in 1897 and first staged in 1899 by the Moscow Art Theatre under the direction of Konstantin Stanislavski. The play centers on the household of a rural Russian estate disrupted by the visit of a retired professor and his young wife, and it is counted among Chekhov's major dramatic works alongside The Cherry Orchard and Three Sisters. It remains a staple of the modern theatrical repertoire for its understated depiction of frustrated lives.
