"I cannot imagine a more delicate, luminous and emotionally piercing production... Heartbreaking simplicity" The Times

Following their triumphant UK Tour of Twelfth Night, Cheek by Jowl's stellar Russian ensemble returns with Chekov's sweeping love story, Three Sisters.

Arguably the greatest play of the Twentieth Century, Three Sisters tells the tale of Olga, Irina and Masha whose lives are turned upside down by the arrival of glamorous officer Veshinin to their remote town. Their eternal struggle to live and to love is charted with Chekov's sharp eye and unfailing humanity.

"Chekhov's characters, whom we think we know all too well, suddenly burst open, dazzlingly and unforgettably. No one other than Donnellan could have achieved this. He is the first and the unrepeatable." Kommersant, Russia

"Miraculous Simplicity. Superb!" Le Figaro, France
