State Theatre Company of South Australia presents
Three Sisters
by Anton Chekhov
5 - 28 August 2011
Dunstan Playhouse
"Any idiot can face a crisis. It's the day to day living that wears you out!"
At the dawn of a new century, three sisters exiled to a provincial backwater long for a return to Moscow and its vibrant culture. Unable to bear the banality of their lives, tempers flare and all kinds of appetites go unchecked, provoking wild and dangerous responses from the people around them.
One of the greatest plays of the 20th century, Chekhov's tragi-comic masterpiece of provincial claustrophobia and the frustrations of small town life has a universally resounding appeal. At once grave and joyous, thrillingly recognisable and deeply moving, it tells its story with courage, compassion and humour.
