Broadway found room this spring for classics from two titans of modern drama — Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People” and Anton Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya.” It’s thrilling that at such an uncertain time in the American theater, artistic ingenuity and producing muscle were lavished on high-profile revivals of these works. The buzz-generating ensembles, pairing notable screen talents with veteran stage actors, added to the excitement.
Alison Pill, who plays Sonia, Vanya’s generous-hearted niece who’s futilely in love with Astrov , the dashing, ecological-minded and alcoholic doctor, has only her unhappiness to fall back on. “Uncle Vanya” is known for its sorrowful emotion, though the anguish failed to awaken my ready sympathy. Pill unleashes Sonia’s shattering disappointment, but I found it hard to feel her pain because the connections between characters were so sketchy. Anger is the more enlivening emotion here.
