Malle re-teamed with actor/stage director André Gregory and Wallace Shawn, co-stars and co-authors of 1981’s My Dinner with André, for this docufiction that shows Gregory and members of his private performance workshop rehearsing David Mamet’s adaptation of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya in the then-shuttered and dilapidated New Amsterdam Theater, with Shawn taking on the title role and Julianne Moore as Yelena.
