Three Sisters Olga, Masha, and Irina are the Three Sisters in Anton Chekhov’s play that opened at the Moscow Art Theater on January 31st, 1901. In 1923 the Moscow Art production of Three Sisters came to New York. This New York production helped spark the shift in American acting into “a more realistic” ‘truer’ acting style…” said Jean Claude van Itallie, an English translator of Chekhov’s plays. Van Itallie concedes that the Sisters are all complex good people with Olga, the eldest, stoically shouldering the parental responsibilities in their absence. Masha, the middle sister, is romantic, clever, cultured, and unhappily married to a hapless school teacher. Irina, the youngest, embodies radiant hope dreaming of a full and happy life. Even though each of the sisters is struggling with a touch of emptiness in their individual lots, they are not morbid or bitter; rather they remain full of feeling and full of love for each other. The Village Voice said that, “the Three Sisters captures Chekhov’s exuberance, music and complexity.” Free admission for Daytona State College and Volusia County students. $5 for all others.
