THREE SISTERS
Translated By Madeleine George | Directed by Stephanie Hunt
On the brink of a new era, three sisters—living in a small, boring town—dream of a better life in the big city where they were born. Over the next three years, the sisters fall in love, work, banter about the meaning of life, and struggle to keep their dreams alive. Anton Chekhov penned this poignant and humorous play in 1900 for his friends and his wife, the actors of the Moscow Art Theater, to perform. Our production is set in the year it was written.
