About the Show
After the passing of their retired college-professor parents who named their children after characters from Chekov plays, middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives in the Bucks County, Pennsylvania home they share. Their movie-star sister, Masha suddenly swoops in with her new “boy toy,” Spike. Old resentments flare up leading to threats of selling the house. Also on the scene are a sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and an energetic, aspiring young actress named Nina, who is visiting her family next door.
Roles
Vanya: Male, 50s; living in Bucks County. Resigned to his life, more or less, at least compared to Sonia.
Sonia: Female, early 50s; his adopted sister, living with him in Bucks County. Discontent, regretful.
Masha: Female, 50s; his sister is a glamorous and successful actress who goes gallivanting around the world.
Spike: Male, 20s; an aspiring actor, 29 or younger, Masha’s new companion. Sexy, self-absorbed, but otherwise outgoing and friendly.
Nina: Female, early 20s; lovely, sincere would-be actress, visiting her aunt and uncle next door. Star struck, earnest and energetic.
Cassandra: Female, any age, any race; cleaning lady and soothsayer. In the original production, she was played by an African-American actress in her 20s.
