Three Sisters
by Anton Chekhov, in a new version by Victor Kalka
“★★★★ This is a powerful adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s classic play”
Great things are coming.
In a sleepy provincial town Olga, Masha, and Irina dream of a life of excitement, freedom and meaning. All they have to do is move home to Moscow. Instead, they find themselves trapped in a suffocating house where time seems to stand still. As the days turn into years, their youthful dreams of love, excitement, and freedom gradually fizzle.
Three Sisters is a tender portrait of a family grappling with the bittersweet distance between dreams and reality.

“Kalka’s adaptation of Three Sisters draws to the fore the revolutionary aspect of Chekhov’s deeply humane art, and the excellent cast present, with rich poignancy, that eternal dance desire has with disappointment”
