Three Sisters
Theater
by The Company Arts Theare/Craig Deuchar
Dr. Chebutykin The London premiere of a new translation of Chekhov's Three Sisters by Agnieszka Kennedy adapted by The Company.
Working from Chekhov’s original text The Company’s production brings new life and contemporary relevance to this masterpiece. It is a journey of humanity, enlightenment and pain of love on the eve of the Russian revolution.
Chekhov’s Prozorov family's relationships, aspirations and stirring conflicts starkly contrast with the ascetic stage setting, highlighting the characters dissatisfaction with life away from their beloved Moscow.
Artistic Direction by Tom Radcliffe.
