I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'role of sonya in uncle vanya?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'part of revolutionary masterpiece inspired' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters revolve around).
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'ecein' is hidden in the letters of 'masterpiece inspired'.
'ecein' written backwards gives 'NIECE'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
