Uncle Victor is a historical comedy inspired by the classic Russian play Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov. In this version O'Neill takes the structure of Uncle Vanya and some characters and places them on Waverly Plantation in 1899 Louisiana. While the dialogue and characters are typically Southern the Louisiana story perfectly parallels the situation of turn-of-the century Russia where a new urban economy was destroying the country's agrarian base. While Russians were suffering from typhoid and peasants were going hungry Southerners were dying from yellow fever and displaced farmers were starving. In Uncle Victor the Mallory family running Waverly Sugar Plantation confronts a totally changed Louisiana.
Also available in Ghosts of New Orleans.
