‘The Three Sisters’ by Anton Chekhov

61ol-gC2gmL._SL300_The Three Sisters is Anton Chekhov’s 1901 play about the Prosorov family, who are stuck in a provincial Russian town. The sisters – Olga, Masha, and Irina – fantasize about one day returning to Moscow. Meanwhile, their brother Andrey courts village girl Natasha, and the family socializes with the soldiers stationed nearby. Dreams, longing, and illicit love drive the action of Chekhov’s comic drama.

I play the wife to the main character, Andrey, Natalia “Natasha” Ivanovna. Listen to a sample here. (I speak some French in this play – kudos to my boyfriend for helping me pronounce those phrases!)
