Three Sisters
By Anton Chekhov
Translated by Paul Schmidt
Directed by Jeanne Willcoxon
The three Prozorov sisters yearn for Moscow, the exciting cosmopolitan city of their youth, as they live and work in the dull, provincial, army town that is now their home. Written by Anton Chekhov in 1900, Three Sisters examines the sisters’ lives of deferred and dying dreams in a now extinct czarist Russia. Gradually alienated from their own home, unable to find solace in love or work, the sisters hold on to the hope of happiness in Moscow. In their struggle to find some meaning in their daily existence, Chekhov reveals the painful beauty held in the many unremarkable lives, lived on the periphery of great events, lost to history.
