From the Inside Flap:

Chekhov's masterpiece in a full cast performance starring Tessa Thompson, Jennifer Westfeldt, Sarah Zimmerman and Jon Hamm. Meet Olga, Masha, and Irina, warm and cultured young sisters who were reared in the exciting hubbub of Moscow, but have been living in the dull, gossipy backwaters of Russia for far too long. With their father's passing, and the ordinary grip of day-to-day life slowly suffocating them, the urge to return to the city with its rich and exciting life rises to a fever pitch. First performed in 1901, The Three Sisters mixes humor and heartbreak beautifully and is a perennial favorite of actors and audiences alike.

About the Author:

Anton Chekhov (1860-19040 is one of the world's greatest playwrights. His four masterpieces, The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard, are rarely absent from the stage. Indeed, this will be the second high-profile production of Three Sisters in London this year... Nicholas Wright's Vincent in Brixton won rave reviews at the National and in the West End last year and opens in New York in April. Earlier work includes the West End hit, Cressida, with Michael Gambon, Mrs Klein at the National Theatre and in the West End, and adaptations of John Gabriel Borkman (with Paul Scofield and Vanessa Redgrave), Naked with Juliette Binoche and Lulu with Anna Friel. All are published by NHB.
