The title character, Uncle Vanya, is a middle-aged man who has spent his entire life working on the estate and caring for his sister's husband, a famous professor who has come to live on the estate with his young wife. Vanya is disillusioned with his life and feels that he has wasted his potential. The professor's arrival sets off a chain of events that leads to a series of emotional confrontations between the characters. The play deals with themes of unrequited love, regret, and the struggle to find meaning in life.
