by Anton Chekhov
Regarded as one of the best drama's of the twentieth century, Anton Chekhov's
Three Sisters, is a play brimming with unfulfilled dreams and a quest
for happiness. Living out their dull existence in a small Russian town
are three sisters, Olga, Masha, Irina, and their younger brother, Andrei.
The sisters use their dreams of moving to Moscow and engaging in torrid
love affairs as a means of escape from their daily drudge. when Andrei
decides to marry, their lives are interrupted as the new wife, Natalya,
takes control of the household. Through a series of tragic consequences
the sisters find themselves once again ensalved by alienation and routine.
