The Three Sisters
SPOTLIGHT SERIES
By Anton Chekov
Translated by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by David Alford
The Prozorov sisters — Olga, Masha and Irina — dream of escaping their small Russian town and returning to Moscow. Over the course of several years, we are immersed in their lives and the lives of those around them as they long for a more meaningful existence.
In this seminal masterpiece, Chekhov abandons traditional dramatic storytelling and instead focuses on the arc of his characters' emotional journeys and inner motivations.
First produced by the Moscow Art Theatre in 1901 and co-directed by the legendary acting teacher Constantin Stanislavsky, the play toured worldwide, profoundly altering the course of modern drama.
It's about the elusive pursuit of happiness, and it's just as vital today.
