THREE SISTERS

by Anton Chekhov

Directed by Maria Magkanari

From 5 March 2025

Three sisters. Three women united by the closest of kinships - a single generation in a single family. Sisters, but doomed to live separate lives.

As the eldest, Olga will always dwell in the past.
Masha, the middle sibling, will commit herself to the present.
And Irina, the youngest, will dream of the future.

For more than a century, Anton Chekhov's masterpiece has served as a perfect metaphor for talking about time. It is a play of desires that have been buried or forgotten; of broken clocks and lives left unfulfilled; of daily household rituals steeped in silence; and of infectious tears and laughter. Above all, it explores the confusion felt by those searching for meaning, and the self-deception that keeps us all afloat.

Three Sisters is about men who say they love their wives and women who are constantly yearning. About those who lose their footing because of love. And ultimately about all the things that never happen - in short, about life.
