What is it?

Feminist theatre and music makers RashDash are ripping up Anton Chekhov’s revered 1900 play, the Three Sisters, and reimagining it with electric guitars.

RashDash – Abbi Greenland, Helen Goalen and Becky Wilkie – take on the roles of the titular siblings Olga, Masha and Irina, to question why the men in this play have all the lines.

With a radical take on a classic, join RashDash as they philosophise their heads off in the drawing room and take turn-of-the-century crinolines into 2018.

Three Sisters follows RashDash’s smash-hit multi-award winning Two Man Show (Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2016 and UK tour). Their work is a combination of radical feminist ideas explored through an articulate physical style, in a form that they continue to reinvent.  RashDash have now won three Fringe First Awards and have previously won The Tods Murray Awards for Best Book and Innovation in Musical Theatre, and have received nominations for Total Theatre and Off West End Awards.

Three Sisters will be on at The Yard Theatre from 22nd May to 9th June, and Tobacco Factory Theatres from 12th to 16th June.
