Following the death of their father, sisters Olga, Masha, and Irina dream of returning to Moscow, the glorious city of their youth which represents all things civilized and cultured. Yet, as their yearning increases, the reality of their current provincial lives grows more stifling. Chekhov’s The Three Sisters is a masterpiece of modern theatre that explores the universal — and sometimes comical — struggle to find meaning in our lives.
