THREE SISTERS
BY ANTON CHEKHOV
A New Version By Christopher Hampton
Directed By Michael Blakemore
Christopher Hampton's fresh new version of Checkhov's timeless classic brings together some of Britain's biggest starts of screen and stage.
Kristin Scott Thomas, Kate Burton, Robert Bathurst, James Fleet, Douglas Hodge and the legendary Eric Sykes lead the cast in Michael Blakemore's young, comic and early-waited new production.
Chekhov's play is a funny and moving study of character, relationship and motivation. Considered by many to be one of the greatest plays of all time, this fascinating drama explores the dynamics between love, hope and fulfilment in the lives of the Prozorovs and their friends.
This production brings together two giants of world theatre. Director Michael Blakemore recently achieved the unprecedented distinction of winning the Broadway Tony Award for Best Director for both a Play (Michael Frayn's Copenhagen) and a Musical (Kiss Me Kate) in the same year. Multi Award-Winner Christopher Hampton, acknowledged as one of Britain's greatest living playwrights, is perhaps best known for the international theatre and film successes of his Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
