Stage Russia presents: Three Sisters + Actors Q&A

Anton Chekhov’s The Three Sisters probes the lives and dreams of Olga, Masha, and Irina, former Muscovites now living in a provincial town from which they are desperate to escape. In this powerful play, a landmark of modern drama, Chekhov masterfully interweaves character and theme in subtle ways that make the work’s climax seem as inevitable as it is deeply moving.

Timofey Kulyabin, artistic director of the Red Torch Theatre in Novosibirsk, has taken this classic work and reinvented it as an epic parable about finding harmony through suffering. The entire cast, save for one, communicate throughout the performance solely in sign language. By doing this, the selfishness, isolation and lack of mutual understanding are dangerous and laden with disaster, the characters defenceless against a huge “sounding” world.

Join Pushkin House and Stage Russia for an online screening from the comfort of your own home, from Friday 30th April. Then join us live via Zoom at 2pm UK time on Sunday 2nd May for a Q&A with actresses Daria Emelyanova, Irina Krivonos, Linda Akhmetzyanova, speaking to Professor Michael Earley.
