Product Description

Review

"Chekhov's brilliant tale of the sisters' dream to return to Moscow, and the clash between duty and desire that keeps them in their garrison town, is rendered anew in Susan Coyne's vital new translation. She infuses all with a muscularity and humour even as heartbreak and betrayal insinuate themselves, and we are left standing alone with the sisters watching the parade go by right out of town." -- Jackie Maxwell, Artistic Director, Shaw Festival. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

This version by actor-writer Susan Coyne marks the beginning of a new series of classic plays produced in new translations at the Shaw Festival. Located in the small town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, the Shaw Festival is the second largest classical repertory theatre in North America. The company has chosen as its mandate the plays of George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries (1856-1950), plays about the beginning of the modern world. This mandate is unique in world theatre. Co-published with The Academy of the Shaw Festival. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the play AND the edition, 9 Jan 2006

"mimstarlette" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Three Sisters (Methuen Student Editions) (Paperback)

The play is wonderful, but what I want to review is this edition - Michael Frayn's translation is excellent and the introduction is really fascinating as well as invaluable if you're studying the text for Theatre Studies or Drama. Nick Worrall provides a commentary looking at the themes of the play, Chekhov's background and theatre in the early 20th century, various (and varied) critical opinions and descriptions of past productions of the play (a life-saver!). He writes unpretentiously, clearly and with an fantastic understanding of the play

4.0 out of 5 stars "Three Sisters" - Good book, nothing without a good reader., 8 Jan 2002

jon@the.soundvault.net (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Three Sisters (Drama Classics) (Paperback)

Imagination is the key to enjoying this book. Reading between the lines and reading deeply into the characters, making comparasomes to yourself will make this one of the best books you will ever have read. The translation from Russian is adequote in expressing the characters and asserting their personalities however, don't expect this translation to be a perfect match to what Chekhov was writing since much of the translators own views of the play are asserted through the translation.
