Directed by Sam Yates and adapted by Simon Stephens, this one-man "Vanya" - in which Andrew Scott delivers a tour-de-force performance - arrives Off Broadway after a run in London, where it won an Olivier for best play revival.

In this one-woman tour-de-force, Jodie Comer stars as a hard-line lawyer who defends men accused of sexual assault, only to later confront the limitations of the law after being assaulted herself.
