In a bold, unconventional experiment in live theater, director Louis Malle documents the uninterrupted rehearsal of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" by a company of actors in a dilapidated New York City theater. With the audience as their only witness, the cast and crew perform the play in its entirety, act by act, with brief breaks for refreshments and prop moves. Amidst the chaos of the abandoned stage, beautiful performances and subtle direction come together to create an eccentric yet captivating presentation of a timeless classic.
