Three Sisters / No Sisters

In a house in a provincial town, three sisters wait, and wait, and wait for their lives to begin. They long to leave their provincial lives, but are thwarted at every turn by heartache, disappointment, and an inability to change. Three Sisters, written in 1900 by Anton Chekhov, centers on a conflict between reality and illusions. Cordelia Lynn's version of Chekhov's Three Sisters is fresh, funny, and timely. While Three Sisters plays out on the mainstage, half the cast is simultaneously performing in the lobby. In that play the characters don’t know they are in a play. In this play, they know they’re in two plays! No Sisters unpacks the oddballs and oddities of Chekhov’s characters in a wildly funny play about wildly unhappy people.
