GENEVA ENGLISH DRAMA SOCIETY

3-12 May 2007

THE THREE SISTERS, by Anton Chekhov

Writing in 1901, towards the end of his life, in the play Chekhov describes the hopes of youth transformed by age into a clearer awareness of life's realities. His characters suffer from their inability to communicate and the universal problem of human solitude. The events are placed out against a backdrop of the sense of futility present at the turn of the century together with a hint of the social upheavals tocome. The mood swings from the amusing to the dramatic. As always Chekhov is a master of irony, often enhancing the atmosphere by his use of music.
