From Galadriel to Queen Elizabeth, Cate Blanchett is known for being a chameleon on film, but her career actually started on the stage. Now as the co-Artistic Director of the Sydney Theatre Company with husband Andrew Upton, Blanchett brings the company’s acclaimed production of Uncle Vanya to the Lincoln Center Festival for performances from July 19-28. Here she talks with fellow actor Richard Roxburgh about the challenges of staging Chekhov’s work for a modern audience.
