»   SYNOPSIS

(from doverpublications.com) "This structurally and psychologically compact drama takes place on an estate in 19th-century Russia, exploring the complex interrelationships between a retired professor, his second wife, and the daughter and brother-in-law from his first marriage. Interwoven themes of weakness, delusion, and despair are balanced by an underlying message of courage and hope."

»   REVIEWS

". . . Credit Megan Follows with creating a solid (if somewhat on-the-surface) Sonya, Vanya's niece, who secretly and quietly loves the good doctor . . ."
– Ed Kaufman, The Hollywood Reporter


". . . Meanwhile, dear, good Sonya, Serebryakov's neglected daughter by his first wife (sweetly, expressivly played by Megan Follows), is excruciatingly, hopelessly in love with Astrov. Convinced she is "plain," she has convinced everyone else of it, too, but as compensation she is almost angelically virtuous."
– Polly Warfield, Backstage West
