Three Sisters (Plays for Performance) - Tapa blanda

Ivan R. Dee's excellent discussions are recommended... Among the best of recent publications: a new adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is provided by Dorothy Louise: while it remains faithful to her intentions, Frankenstein's new look tailors a play for performance and provides a strong plot suitable for contemporary drama. Similarly does Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters, with Curt Columbus providing the new translation and Nicholas Rudall and Bernard Sahlins working their editing magic on both productions.

Chekhov's great classic receives a brilliant new translation from Curt Columbus, following on his acclaimed rendering of Uncle Vanya. This Three Sisters is fresh and contemporary, the dialogue lively and accurate, the characters complex and familiar, the setting strangely political. Adhering faithfully to Chekhov's text, Mr. Columbus has fashioned a superbly playable script for today's American audiences.
