Sonya

In a stand-out performance, Jouléy’s Sonya is a near-angelic bridge between Molly’s roles as terminal patient and sexual explorer.

Her dissatisfaction with her crabby old husband drives her into the same state of amorous turmoil that Vanya and Sonya find themselves in.

Field’s somber, clear-eyed Sonya has ardent desires but few illusions.

Field’s Sonya looks as if she has been holding back tears ever since her mother died.

As Bonneville’s Vanya and Field’s Sonya take shelter from the devastation of their dreams in the daily grind of their work, an image of life as it is authentically experienced is renewed onstage.
