Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov
Nicholas Wright's version of Chekhov's masterpiece, in which four young people are left stranded in a provincial backwater following the death of their father. They focus their dreams on returning to Moscow, a city remembered through the eyes of childhood as a place where happiness may just be possible. This version of Three Sisters was first staged at the National Theatre, London, in 2003.'More than any Three Sisters I recall, it contrasts laughter with what comes after: hope and delight with frustration and disillusion.. Extremely moving - and wholly Chekhovian'
* The Times *'Beautifully poetic... A Chekhov to cherish'
