Description Uncle Vanya in Avoca is a site-specific durational version of the play by Anton Chekhov, an early environmentalist. It is located in the exquisite Watford House, close to the Avoca River, in the town of Avoca. The characters of the play grapple with a deteriorating environment, the economic difficulty of living on the land, tensions around family inheritance and deep family bonds. We enter the world together; a world of the past and an experience of here and now.
