Three Sisters is all about Olga (the eldest), Masha and Irina (the youngest). In a room in a house in a provincial town, these three sisters wait for their lives to begin. Do you ever wonder what would happen if we could live our lives all over again but be fully conscious of it the second time? I bet we’d try to do everything differently, or at least would know to create a different world for ourselves…
The story has been adapted and updated by Cordelia Lynn, whose previous work includes One For Sorrow, Best Served Cold, Lela & Co and After The War. Her opera writing credits include Miranda and other vocal work includes Heave and The White Princess.
The show will be directed by Rebecca Frecknall, who’s also the Associate Director at the Almeida Theatre, where the production will run. Rebecca has already directed several successes recently, including the critically acclaimed show, Summer and Smoke, and was the resident director on Ink.
Three Sisters will run at the Almeida Theatre between 8 April –1 June 2019
