Some of the most pressing issues of our time are often inspired by ideas expressed in plays. This talk by novelist and poet Ian Williams is as well: He chats about the Crow's Theatre production of Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov, and how it's a reflection on how we spend our days on work and the records we keep. It's a stark reminder of the relentless march of time. This episode is part of a public lecture series called IDEAS at Crow's Theatre.
