Anton Chekhov 
Three Sisters 

‚Three Sisters‘ is Anton Chekhov’s dramatic play written in 1900 and first performed in 1901. The story concerns the lives of an aristocratic family, the Prozorovs, who struggle to search for meaning in the modern world. The three sisters, Olga, Masha, and Irina, along with their brother Andrei, are living in a small provincial town, yet they long to return to the urban sophistication of Moscow where they grew up. Chekhov’s ‚Three Sisters‘ brilliantly depicts the lives and aspirations of the Prozorov family as they struggle to contend with the decline of the privileged class in Russia at the turn of the 20th century. A classic of Russian drama, ‚Three Sisters‘ is considered one of Chekhov’s major works and remains one of his most popular plays.
