The sisters Olga, Masha, and Irina live with their brother Andrey in a provincial Russian town, and plan to return to Moscow where they grew up. Olga doesn't want to continue teaching; Masha is disillusioned in her marriage; Irina hopes to find true love; and Andrey shows promise of becoming a professor. When Andrey falls in love with Natasha, their hopes for change are dashed, bit by bit. First performed in 1901 at the Moscow Art Theatre, Three Sisters is considered one of Chekhov's best plays. Perfect for readers who appreciate masterful character studies and the profound beauty found in everyday struggles. Chekhov transforms the ordinary desires of three provincial sisters into a deeply moving exploration of hope, dreams, and the passage of time.
