Three Sisters

Directed by Vivienne Benesch

A Family Portrait of Longing and Desire

Languishing in a provincial town far from their beloved Moscow, sisters Olga, Masha and Irina yearn for the sparkling city of their childhood, where they dream all wishes will be fulfilled. A masterful look at a family navigating the space between reality and dreams, in a new version by Libby Appel, the director of PlayMakers' 2014 production of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.

Age Recommendation

While there is nothing inappropriate in the narrative, Chekhov’s humor and ability to shine light on the mundane details of everyday life will be best appreciated by patrons ages 14 and up.
