Set on a country estate in late nineteenth century Russia, \u003ci\u003eUncle Vanya\u003c\/i\u003e is in part a study of the enervation of Russian middle-class provincial life. The major dynamics between the characters themselves are centred on two obsessive love affairs that lead nowhere and a flirtation that brings disaster. Mixing the tragic and the absurd and dealing with a form that allows for ambiguity and contradiction, Uncle Vanya has been deemed \"the first modernist play\".
