After a successful run in Washington DC last\"\"<\/a> year Andrew Upton, Cate Blanchett<\/span> and Richard Roxburgh have brought the Sydney Theater Company’s<\/em> production of the famous Chekhov<\/em> play Uncle Vanya<\/em> to New York City. And it’s wowing audiences in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n

Opening as a part of the Lincoln Centre Festival at the weekend, critics have praised the “uniformly brilliant cast<\/em>” that includes Cate Blanchett<\/span> and Hugo Weaving<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Cate Blanchett\u00a0and Richard Roxburgh are still slightly terrified by the play ‘It’s excruciating<\/em>,’ says Blanchett. ‘What I find the most difficult thing to exist within is what Tamas [Ascher, the Hungarian director] describes in Chekhov as the “stupid silences” where everyone just falls into a silence that is utterly stupid, and their stupidity is revealed to them, and they are staring into a void<\/em>.’ The production continues at the New York City Centre until Saturday.<\/p>\n
