''The Wood Demon'' (, 1889) is a comedic play in four acts written by Russian author Anton Chekhov. The play was written in 1888 and debuted in December 27, 1889 at the Abramov Theater. The play was first refused by the Alexandrinsky Theatre of Saint Petersburg and the Maly Theatre of Moscow. Eight years after this play failed, Chekhov returned to the work. He reduced the cast list by half, changed the climatic suicide into an anti-climax of a failed homicide, and published the reworked play, much more successfully, under the title ''Uncle Vanya''. ==Characters== * Alexander Serebryakov, a retired professor * Helena, his wife of 27 years old * Sofia Alexandrovna (Sonya), his daughter from his first marriage, 20 years old * Mary V.
