In a remote Russian town, Olga, Masha and Irina long for life in Moscow - but their plans go nowhere. Disaster, deception, meaningless self-sacrifice - in Chekhov's heartbreaking masterpiece, each new twist of fate sees the sisters' control over their destiny slip away. Considered one of the great master works of modern theatre, "Three Sisters" premiered at the legendary Moscow Art Theatre in 1901 and has been widely performed ever since. This Abbey Players production utilizes a modern translation of the text that updates the language for a contemporary audience while staying true to the emotional depth and naturalistic drama of the original.
