Uncle Jack
by Michael Hammond
Directed by Michael Hammond
February 12 ‐ March 1, 2015

A comedy of Chekhovian proportions! In this modern‐day retelling of Uncle Vanya, Uncle Jack, his niece Sonya, and his British brother‐in‐ law Derek struggle to save their small summer theatre company in the Berkshires…and the company’s looming demise causes old wounds to bleed afresh. Jack fires a keepsake pistol, Derek runs for cover, and hearts are broken.

  • "...Timothy Spears is amusingly spacey as the nature-loving Tug."
