Vanya and his sister Sonia live a quiet life in the Pennsylvania farmhouse where they grew up. But when their famous film-star sister, Masha, makes an impromptu visit with her dashing, twenty-something boyfriend, Spike, on her arm, a chaotic weekend ensues. Resentment, rivalry and revealing premonitions begin to boil over as the three siblings battle to be heard.

Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best New Play, Christopher Durang’s irresistible comedy blends Chekhovian ennui with the modern-day concerns of celebrity, social networking, and the troubling onset of middle age, into a laugh-out loud comedy, presented by York Settlement Community Players.
