Life Sucks

Book by Aaron Posner

Directed by Jason Berner

January 17-February 2, 2025

In this modern reboot of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, Vanya is living a life of not-very-quiet desperation on his late sister’s estate.  Vanya’s frustrations increase with a visit from his pompous brother-in-law and his new, much younger wife – who also happens to be the object of Vanya’s hopeless affection.  Throughout the play, Vanya and his old friends, relatives, ex-lovers, and lifelong frenemies grapple with each other and life’s thorniest questions, chief among them the degree to which Life does or does not, in fact, Suck.
