AnthropoScenes: in the words of Chekhov

Anthropocenes: meaning humans are having such a big impact on the Earth — through things like pollution, climate change, deforestation, and building cities — that it's actually changing how the planet works, just like past natural events.

Uncle Vanya, written by Anton Chekhov, tells the story of a disheartened man who has devoted his life to managing a country estate for his brother-in-law, only to realise his sacrifices have been for nothing. As tensions rise with the sudden threat of selling the estate, the characters’ personal struggles and longings surface- this is then mirrored with contemporary characters who still face these struggles today.
