Three Sisters at Archway Theatre

One of Anton Chekhov's masterworks, Three Sisters is a humorous and affecting tale centering around the once-privileged members of the Prozorov family. After the death of their army general father, three sisters feel constrained by the smallness of life in their provincial Russian town. Attempts to improve their crumbling social status lay bare the larger forces that loom over the entire area. Melodrama turned inside out, Three Sisters is a story of yearning and ordinary life -- where little seems to happen, but all is revealed. Known for their excellent productions of works by Shaw, Wilde, Moliere and more, Archway Studio/Theatre in North Hollywood now presents this luminous and emotionally raw retelling of Chekhov's masterpiece.
