There is nothing that demonstrates an actor’s skill and versatility like a one person show. Andrew Scott, best known for “Fleabag,” delivers a tour de force performance in Simon Stephens’ “Vanya” playing for two screenings only at Lincoln Theater.

This updated version of Chekov’s “Uncle Vanya,” co-created by Andrew Scott, Simon Stephens, Sam Yates, and Rosanna Vize, was described as “a master class in acting” by UK news outlet, The Stage. Scott delivers a beautifully complex and nuanced performance that holds the audience captive as he weaves this tale of hopes, dreams, regrets, and the complexity of human emotion.

A perfect production to be presented by National Theatre Live, whether you show up for serious drama, romcoms or sold-out award-winning hits, bringing you unmissable theatre, filmed live from Britain’s most exciting stages. With these incredible performances on the big screen you’ll always have the best seat in the house and be at the heart of the action. With just two showings, you won’t want to miss Scott’s amazing exhibition of talent in “Vanya” filmed live during its sold-out run in London’s West End.

Playing Thursday, March 21 at 7 p.m. and Friday, March 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets, $15 adult, $13 LT members, and $5 youth 18 and under, are available in advance through the Lincoln Theater box office at www.LincolnTheater.net or at the door beginning 30 minutes before showtime.
