Incredible! Absolutely marvelous acting by R. A. He WAS Astrov and not one bit himself. He was in. Perfect deliveries, each time. I'm doing Astrov tomorrow in class! How lucky I am to stumble upon this great reference. Cheers!

I saw uncle vanya during the pandemic and I can say I almost cried it was so good although I didn't cry as much as I did when I saw the crucible I hope someday I'll get the chance to meet Richard

One of my favorite plays, I have seen tons of different versions! None come close to the 1986 Soviet version, it’s genius! I really like Richard as Astrov but cannot accept this Elena, sorry. According to Chekhov, she’s supposed to be absolutely beautiful, in fact, that seems to be the only reason Astrov is drawn to her, he admits that he cares for nothing but beauty. Having said that, I would love to see the full version of this!

@polinamarchenko1007 Жыл бұрын

I liked 1970 Soviet version as well (alongside with 1986 Soviet version) And I agree that casting in this one is not quite successful. Sonya and Uncle Vanya are absolutely OK though, I should admit..

never understood this scene as romantic: astrov is insanely in love with her for a man who says he doesn't respect her at all- not to mention his insistence comes off as just a little bit rapey. armitage portrayed the character excellently, but that didn't stop astrov from feeling like a shithead overstaying his welcome for the whole final act.

Probably accurate attitude for a gentleman at the turn of the century. Judging Yelena for her higher class and wants to cut her down to his level. 19th century negging! Classism was probably Chekhov’s point actually

This production is full of strange choices: Waffles' anger at Yelena not remembering his name is entirely out of character with the man who tries to restrain Vanya's anger at the Professor; the men rushing out into the rain and ripping their shirts open; Yelena, the sophisticated urban woman, walking around barefoot in the fourth act, etc. It is really "Uncle Vanya" for people who find Chekhov too chekhovian.

"Дядя Ваня" - это русская пьеса А. Чехова. Ричард Армитидж получился чеховским, она, вообще, нет. Она должна быть молодой и красивой и не в затрапезной одежде, и не со средиземноморской внешностью. Она должна быть утончённой и прекрасной. А вот Ричард чудесный везде и в любой роли. Ричард потрясающий актёр. Он страстен, правда, она никакую страсть не вызывает и вызвать не может. Так её любить, как любит герой Чехова, просто невозможно. Это не её роль. Она тут, вообще, инородное тело, и непонятный эксперимент постановщиков. Зачем❓

Истинно так. При этом, насколько русским выглядит Ричард!!! Невероятный талант.

There is interview in the Telegraph around the time Uncle Vanya opened in London and he worded his replies which would indicate he is gay. However, he is a wonderful actor and a very warm decent human being a special person.

He was engaged to a woman and has had a different girlfriend in the past. Perhaps not gay- just not the commitment type?

@@sofiaguerrero0969 He was never engaged to Samantha Colley, or rather it was never announced formally on his (or her) Twitter (he joined Twitter on his birthday in August 2014 which is during the run of The Crucible) or in The Times or The Telegraph (which are the two publications where us British people announce such things.) There also isn't a single photo of them together other than the promotional stuff for The Crucible. Considering he lived in either London or New York, two of the busiest cities on the planet, in 2014/15/16, it would be quite remarkable for a person of his fame to not be photographed ONCE with this 'girlfriend'...I have seen every photo out there of this man - and there isn't ONE of them together; coming out of a restaurant, sitting outside a coffee shop, browsing in a bookstore, walking in the park, coming back through an airport after a long weekend away somewhere...not one SINGLE photo...I don't know who starred this rumour, but I'm an 'evidence' girl - and there just isn't any.
