Filmed during its sold-out critically acclaimed run in London’s West End, this incredible and inspiring one-man adaptation exploring the complexities of human emotions is one not to be missed! 

Hopes, dreams, and regrets are thrust into sharp focus in this one-man adaptation which explores the complexities of human emotions.

Andrew Scott, on the National Theatre Live broadcast of Vanya, said: 

“We put our heart and souls into creating this show together, and we are completely overwhelmed and thrilled with the response. I’m honoured and delighted that our version of this masterpiece can be watched by a wider audience through our colleagues at NT Live”. I’ve never been more convinced by the necessity and connective power of live theatre. Long may it reign”. 

Emma Keith, Managing Director, Digital National Theatre, commented:
