Details

Stranded in a remote provincial town, three sisters dream of returning to the Moscow of their youth. When a military garrison arrives nearby,the officers become their guests and suddenly a new life seems to be within reach. Liaisons develop, love is in the air and hopes run high - but the sisters reckon without the weakness of their brother, the grasping ambitions of his wife, and the strange eccentricities of a certain lieutenant. An explosion is brewing and matters come to a head on a frantic night of fire. This is the world premiere of a fresh and invigorated new version from celebrated playwright and translator Ranjit Bolt whose adaptations have been produced by the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Peter Hall Company amongst others.
