Andrew Scott will star in 'Vanya' at Richmond Theatre.

The productions, from Wessex Grove, Gavin Kalin Productions and Kater Gordon will be a brand new adaptation of Chekhov's masterpiece by Simon Stephens, and directed by Sam Yates.

The play is due to open at the Duke of York's Theatre on 21 September, with previews at Richmond Theatre from 28 August to 2nd September.

The production reunites Scott and Stephens, who previously collaborated on Sea Wall and Birdland; and Scott with Yates following their work together on the short film, The Hope Rooms; and producers Benjamin Lowy and Emily Vaughan-Barratt from Wessex Grove after working with Scott on Sea Wall and Hamlet respectively.

Andrew Scott said: "Heartbreaking, hilarious, sexy, devastating- the genius and extraordinary humanity of Mr Chekhov just knocks me out.

"It's a genuine honour and a singular challenge to bring this giant of a play to life in the West End in this new way and I'm so excited to be doing it alongside such brilliant, playful and talented people."

Richmond Theatre has recently released £15 standing tickets for the performance.

Performances will be at 7:pm at Richmond Theatre and tickets are available here.
