About this book
Olga, Masha, and Irina Prozorov grew up in Moscow and have never stopped dreaming of going back. Stranded in a dull provincial garrison town after their father's death, the three sisters watch the years slip by while marriages sour, an affair flickers and dies, and the family home passes into other hands. Chekhov lets very little happen on the surface, yet every small disappointment lands with real weight, and the longed-for move to Moscow becomes one of theater's most quietly heartbreaking symbols of a life postponed. First staged by the Moscow Art Theatre in 1901, the play remains a cornerstone of modern drama.
