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 works climax seem as inevitable as it is deeply moving. It is reprinted here from a standard text with updated transliteration of character names and additional explanatory footnotes.
