	The Three Sisters
		The three sisters are left as they were in the beginning, deriving some faint pleasure from the cheerful sounds of the regimental band as it marches away, still clinging to their hopes for a better life.
		In this case, I mean an arresting new interpretation of Anton Chekhov's "The Three Sisters," the tale about three cultured women who dream in vain of returning to Moscow while the backwater burg they live in is being vacated by an army garrison, the town's only source of entertainment.
		Almost everyone here - the three sisters and all of the other family members, visitors and hangers-on - is caught in that vicious downward spiral that is otherwise known as life.

		This is not the kind of play that nubies can easily handle; with much of the action happening outside the actual play and some of the primary message unspoken by the actors, placed in the wrong hands it can become an exercise in dullness.

	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews: San Francisco - "Three Sisters - 5/30/03
		Three Sisters is the story of the Prozorov sisters (Lorri Holt, Rene Augesen and Katharine Powell) who are trapped in a sleepy garrison town somewhere in the steppes of mother Russia in the late 19th Century.
		There are many tangled stories among the 13 characters of the play, including an illicit romance between one of the married sisters and the captain of the unit (Marco Barricelli) and a selfish and domineering wife of the brother (Mirjana Jokovic) scheming to gain control of the house.
		Tommy Gomez plays the hapless brother of the sisters and husband of Natasha, and he plays the character almost to the point of being too down in the dumps.

		His plays, which he called comedies, portray an upper class bored and frustrated with their lives but still willing to poke fun at the idiocy of it all.
		Set in early 20th century Russia before the Communist Revolution, The Three Sisters is a dark play, riddled with characters who argue, joke and philosophize as they muddle through drunkenness, gambling, extramarital affairs and self-doubts about their careers or family situations.
		Early on in the play, Vershinin, who is unhappily married, expounds on his theory of the evolution of happiness, arguing that his generation has no right to expect happiness but each generation lays the foundation for future generations who will one day enjoy a long-awaited contentment.

	Anton Chekhov
		The author was enthusiastically fêted, but the burden of his growing fame was beginning to be very irksome to him, and he wrote wearily at this time that he longed to be in the country, fishing in the lake, or lying in the hay.
		His next play to appear was a farce entitled "The Boor," which he wrote in a single evening and which had a great success.
		"Unvle Vanya" followed "The Three Sisters," and the poignant truth of the picture, together with the tender beauty of the last scene, touched his audience profoundly, both on the stage and when the play was afterward published.

		Dressed in fl throughout the play, she wonderfully and convincingly portrays a character repulsed by her husband and utterly in love with another man. Without a doubt, though, the acting by Matt Goldman and Dan Shea as the officer Solyony and the doctor Chebutykin highlight the performance.
		Often marginalized onstage, his terse one-liners and fiddling hands (he constantly plays with a scent bottle) are the closest thing to true action in the production, and his disappearance in the third act is one reason the play's second half lags a bit.
		As difficult as the play was to swallow, for its themes and formalities, it is equally difficult to successfully stage.

		Throughout the course of the play, in the face of the unknowable, the characters search feverishly, bravely and sometimes hilariously, for the meaning of their lives.
		“The search for meaning in ‘Three Sisters’ is prompted by the suspicion haunting some characters—for others it is a conviction—that their lives and all their efforts may be meaningless,” McDonough said.
		“Three Sisters” is counted among “Uncle Vanya” and “The Cherry Orchard” as one of Chekov’s greatest plays.

		Three Sisters has often been described as a play in which nothing happens – a bleakly actionless, plotless, and shapeless drama.
		If the play is approached by a director and actors who are sensitive to its uniquely musical structure and texture, it can stand revealed as a work of astonishing emotional power and beauty.
		Chekhov found the play extremely difficult to write because he appears to have set himself the task of orchestrating every single aural and visual detail, including the dialogue, both onstage and offstage, into an ever-changing musical mosaic of great symphonic subtlety.

		The same play had been performed two years earlier at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg and had been so badly received that Chekhov had actually left the auditorium during the second act and vowed never to write for the theatre again.
		But in the hands of the Moscow Art Theatre, the play was transformed into a critical success, and Chekhov soon realized that the earlier production had failed because the actors had not understood their roles.
		Chekhov considered his mature plays to be a kind of comic satire, pointing out the unhappy nature of existence in turn-of-the-century Russia.

	The Three Sisters
		For The Three Sisters is the Chekhov play with the broadest view of life passing (and passing you by).
		And, needless to say, none of the three Prozorov sisters nor their brother Andrei ever escape the provincial garrison town and get to Moscow, the lodestar of their aspirations and locus of their desperations.
		The three sisters, teasing their brother Andrei (Eric Hissom), wrestle him to the ground like a litter of puppies.

		The sisters are played by Addie Johnson (Olga), Samantha Soule (Masha), and Julie Kline (Irina), who create compelling, distinct women almost instantly; the chemistry between Soule and Kline is especially impressive, really convincing us that they're actually siblings.
		Three Sisters is an early evening's entertainment (performances are at 6pm): it's ideal for the first stop after work and short enough to leave you plenty of time for your other plans (drinks, dinner, etc.).
		If Reitz doesn't plumb as deeply into the hearts and souls of his sisters as Chekhov did (his play is about a quarter of the length of the original, after all), he nonetheless gives us a neat mix of gossip and substance to carry with us after we've left the company of these singular ladies.

	Interview with John Issendorf, a CurtainUp feature
		Although it sets the famous play in a bar/lounge where a live DJ spins techno, trip-hop and ambient music, and 70's disaster films play on video screens, we are told to expect a staging that is largely faithful to Chekhov.
		As opposed to focusing on new plays or functioning as an actor-based company, the focus is on the directorial concept, most of the time using classical or at least older texts.
		It always seems weird to me in the play that people were always dropping by their house.
