First performed at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1901, "The Three
Sisters" probes the lives and dreams of Olga, Masha and Irina,
former Muscovites now living in a provincial town from which they
long to escape. Their hopes for a life more suited to their
cultivated tastes and sensibilities provide a touching counterpoint
to the relentless flow of compromising events in the real
world.
In this powerful play, a landmark of modern drama, Chekhov
masterfully interweaves character and theme in subtle ways that
make the work's climax seem as inevitable as it is deeply moving.
Itis reprinted here from a standard text with updated
transliteration of character names and additional explanatory
footnotes.
