Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya,” transferred by Anna Martinetz into the 2010s: Rather than the forest, it is the bees that are dying; the Russian estate is somewhere in the Austrian lowlands; and it’s a collapse in the financial market that inspires an aged big banker, together with his wife, to leave the city in a hurry. The sublime plan: hide out at his brother-in-law Vanya’s remote estate—if it weren’t for the entire extended family, which quickly turns the cohabitation into an existential challenge.
