Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov
A New Version by Sarah Ruhl based on a literal translation by Elise Thoron with Natalya Paramonova and Kristin Johnsen-Neshati
Directed by Lana Sugarman
Transplanted from their beloved Moscow to a provincial Russian town, three sisters – school teacher Olga, unhappily married Masha and idealistic Irina – yearn for the city of their childhood, where they imagine their lives will be transformed and fulfilled. Three Sisters is the portrait of a family grappling with the bittersweet distance between reality and dreams. Three Sisters premiered at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 24, 2009.
Three Sisters (Ruhl) is recommended for ages 14+.
