Christopher Hampton From Anton Chekhov
Published by Samuel French Ltd
5 Female
Three Sisters, set in a rural backwater of Russia at the
end of the nineteenth century, is a play about dreams, hope, work
and love
Christopher Hampton's version of Chekhov's classic tragicomedy captures both the light, comic naturalism of its dialogue and the poetic melancholy of its atmosphere, a firm sense of the play's period balancing perfectly with a very modern clarity and economy of expression
It premièred at the Playhouse Theatre in 2003 with Kristin Scott-Thomas, Robert Bathurst, James Fleet and Eric Sykes among a distinguished cast
