Based on Uncle Vanya by: Anton Chekhov
Adapted by: Terry Martin
Directed by: Joey Folsom
Set in the sweltering fields of rural Alabama, this Southern take on Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya brings simmering tensions to a 1922 farmstead. Johnny sacrifices his life for an ungrateful brother-in-law, whose return—with a young, captivating wife—stirs long-buried resentments and desires. Under heavy skies and slow-drifting days, this adaptation explores love, regret, and the quiet heartbreak of wasted years in the post-war American South.

What People Are Saying
The greatest compliment that I can pay to this tremendously powerful production [...] is that for almost two and a half hours I did not once squirm in my seat, check the time, or maybe even take a breath. This Cat on a Hot Tin Roof redefines riveting theater.

True art is to address challenging topics and weave in a thick thread of humor; Folsom's vision made this art possible. Don't miss out on the realization of this vision of a Checkhov classic.

In the relatively recent history of The Classics Theatre Project, I have stood in awe of their brilliance for staging from the theatre canon, and making them vibrant, accessible and relevant. Their treatments are intelligent and entertaining, with a keen and kinetic spin.
