York Drama presents a story of “love and longing” during their winter festival
February 12, 2020
On the second weekend of February, York Drama presented two different plays: “Uncle Vanya” by Anton Chekov and a modern adaptation by Aaron Posner titled “Life Sucks”. Both plays follow a group of people who are dissatisfied with their lives and relationships. The festival was directed by John Forsythe, student directed by juniors Emma Taylor and CeCe Lampa and assistant directed by a variety of students in drama.
Sophomore Owen Espinosa as Uncle Vanya in "Life Sucks". "Vanya is a real schmuck and that is why I love playing him," Espinosa said. "The realization that there is so much more to life, and the love you can give is so beautiful. It really tugs on my heartstrings every time I perform him. That is why I loved playing the character."
