_LONELINESS IS A TERRIFYING THING._ Three Sisters. Their brother, and his fiancé. The teacher, the doctor, the old woman, and the soldiers stationed nearby. A small town, in the middle of nowhere. Their world is going up in flames, one minute at a time. But can they create the change they're longing for? A masterful study of family legacy, misdirected love and the human condition in the world premiere of a new translation by award-winning playwright and Russian speaker Rory Mullarkey. This edition was published to coincide with the run at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe, London in January 2025.
