Minor Character: Six Translations of Uncle Vanya at the Same Time

Created by New Saloon / Text by Anton Chekhov

Directed by Emily Moler



A kaleidoscopic adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya collaging a century’s worth of English translations  – from the flowery 1916 version to Google Translate’s profoundly nonsensical rendition –  into one sprawling, intimate, quietly disastrous evening.
Identity is plural. Communication is an athletic feat. Failure is inevitable.
Created by New Saloon
Text by Anton Chekhov
Translations by Marian Fell, Laurence Senelick, Paul Schmidt, Carol Rocamora, Milo Cramer, and Google Translate
