Arrows & Traps’ Three Sisters

When: 20th March – 14th April 2018

What is it?

Arrows & Traps Theatre will present a new version of Anton Chekov’s Three Sisters at Brockley Jack Studio Theatre in London, from Tuesday 20th March to Saturday 14th April.

In a rural backwater, three sisters dream of a better life and of returning to the Moscow of their childhood.  Irina longs for purpose, Masha for passion and Olga for some peace.

Set across four life-defining years, Chekhov’s tragicomic masterpiece explores the hopes, loves and sacrifices of three brilliant young women and the people they encounter.  When society is falling apart at the seams, can people still go on living, loving and laughing?

Seven-time Offie-Nominated Arrows & Traps Theatre bring a contemporary sensibility and a bold, energetic new staging to this riveting and beloved classic.

Arrows & Traps are a modern fringe repertory company that seek to produce bold, alternative and modern takes on classic texts and adaptation through visual spectacle.
