Description

Three Sisters, a play by Anton Chekhov, is a poignant exploration of hope and its consequences. Following their father's death, Olga, Masha, and Irina find themselves feeling culturally, romantically, and intellectually starved in their Russian provincial garrison town.

The sisters' main hope of moving to Moscow depends on their brother Andrey, who aspires to work in academia there. Set against the backdrop of a turn-of-the-twentieth-century Russia, this iconic play has become one of modern theatre's most enduring works.

This translation by Michael Frayn brings Chekhov's powerful drama to life with a fresh and crisp clarity that makes it both accessible and compelling to watch. Commentary and notes by Nick Worrall add depth and context to the production, making this an ideal choice for those interested in Russian literature or theatre.
