 New Statesman: Sisters doing it for themselves - "Three Sisters" - Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
When Brian Friel's version of Chekhov's Three Sisters was first performed in Ireland in the early 1980s, I imagine it carried echoes of the turn-of-the century Protestant ascendancy -- that doomed world of "the rich man's flowering lawns" enjoyed by Yeats and Lady Gregory before the Easter Rising of 1916.
The sense that the sisters inhabit a sizeable city works spectacularly well in scene three, when much of the town is ablaze outside the window and the Prozorovs rummage for clothes for the dispossessed.
The three sisters and their brother have lost their parents far too young and are left with the inadequate Doctor as a parental figure (a virtuoso performance by David Ryall, which made me long to see him as Falstaff), whose spongeing, idleness and boring bufferdom can all be tolerated because he adored their long-dead mother.

The Goddess Tlachtga was pack-raped by the three sons of a man she had gone to in order to learn magic - and she then died giving birth to male warriors.
After the rise of Christianity in Ireland, Brigid was even said to have been made a Bishop - that is Christian monks in their accounts of Irish history accorded her a rank that made her not a Goddess but a priestess with power equal to that of the Christian authorities.
(Thus Patrick was said by Christians to have driven the serpent from Ireland.) However, after the rise of Christianity in Ireland, Brigid became Saint Brigid and it was her nuns that tended the everlasting flame kept at Kildare - the original symbol of a sun goddess.
