The Globe’s new production of Chekhov's Three Sisters, directed by Caroline Steinbeis, captivates audiences with its engaging storytelling and stellar performances. The play, set in early 1900s Russia, follows the lives of the three sisters—Olga, Masha, and Irina—over several years, illuminating their struggles with dreams, love, and loneliness. Performers Michelle Terry, Shannon Tarbet, and Ruby Thompson portray the sisters, highlighting layered character dynamics and the passage of time. With a fresh translation by Rory Mullarkey, the production resonates with themes of suffering and hope, creating a rich theatrical experience that underscores the timelessness of Chekhov's work.
Directed by Caroline Steinbeis, Three Sisters makes for a mesmerising night at the theatre that throws light on the human condition.
We watch her over the years turn from romantic to realist. The meaning of suffering, dread and hope... all vie for position in the minds of Chekhov's characters.
