About the Show

Gallery Players presents Christopher Durang's 2013 Tony Award-winning comedy.

From the show:

This winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play is the story of middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia, who share a home in Bucks County, PA where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness somewhat worries the imperious Masha.

Too long, Strong acting, Dated, Clever, Absorbing

See it if you love Chekhov; you'll enjoy clever send-up of his plots/themes/chars/style. Strg acting/staging. Funny. Gd set/costumes. Cute theater.

Don't see it if you want relevant work. In 8 yrs, VSMS has aged badly. Vanya's "gr 1960-70s" rant=white male privilege. Ea generatn is nostalgic. Drags/sags Read more

Entertaining, Great staging, Funny, Slow, Fluffy

See it if you would like a humorous play that is based on Chekhov - here with a good, hard-working cast with good costumes and lighting on one set.

Don't see it if you have any aversion to an off-the-walls, satirical comedy for two hours - I tired of it a bit.

Ambitious, Slow, Clever script, Fluffy, Entertaining

See it if You love Chekhov or love silly character driven satire. Really clever & fun!

Don't see it if Uneven performances are disconcerting. This over the top farce inspires some of the performers considerably more than others.

Well acted & staged, Clever, Great writing, Funny, Entertaining

See it if Gallery's production of Durang's witty, literate often poignant homage is top-notch Zany ensemble (Evans & Barela standout) shine throughout

Don't see it if Less frenetic 2nd act as Durang's "mock" Chehkovian monologues take centerstage & Rowan dials down comedic antics for a touching eloquence

Thought-provoking, Great acting, Entertaining, Clever, Absorbing

See it if Great acting esp.Jon Krupp and Dawn Evans. Gallery always a welcoming staff. Best set ever at Gallery..Dramas now drawing as well as musical

Don't see it if you live in California. ................. NO REASON TO MISS THIS but some might not be happy with a two plus hour show

Quirky, Refreshing, Funny, Entertaining, Delightful

See it if you enjoy a cute, fun, and light production with a side of quirk.

Don't see it if you prefer dark, brooding shows.

Entertaining, High powered community theatre, Absurd chekovian realism, Quirky, Dependably durang

See it if need a taste of Durang, can laugh at our Chekovian ridiculousness, find life in the details of waiting, like Gallery Players

Don't see it if dislike Durang or Chekov, will only see a "professional" production, need 2 pay a lot 4 ticket 2 prove worth 2 yourself, wont go 2 Brooklyn

Great acting, Delightful, Intelligent, Hilarious, Clever

See it if you want an intelligent comedy that is creative and unique. Very enjoyable!

Don't see it if you don't want to come to Brooklyn.
