Life Sucks

Life Sucks

The Acorn Theatre at Theatre Row
410 West 42nd Street New York

After taking aim at The Seagull with his "explosive" Stupid F*cking Bird, Aaron Posner is back with a critically-acclaimed and irreverent contemporary remix of Uncle Vanya. In this brash reworking of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, a group of old friends, ex-lovers, estranged in-laws, and lifelong enemies gather to grapple with life's thorniest questions - and each other. What could possibly go wrong? Incurably lustful and lonely, hapless and hopeful, these seven souls collide and stumble their way towards a new understanding that Life Sucks! Or does it? Wheelhouse Theater transfers their New York Times Critic's Pick & Drama Desk Nominated production of Life Sucks to Theatre Row after a sold-out downtown run. Don't miss your chance to see "Aaron Posner's bitingly funny, unexpectedly touching play," (NY Times_), heralded as "One of the best plays of 2019!" (_This Week in New York).
