  • After the death of their parents, something essential is lost in the lives of the Prozorov sisters - direction, purpose, and hope. In a small provincial Russian town, their days pass quietly, filled with memory, longing, and unspoken desire. All three look to Moscow as a symbol of the happiness they believe awaits them somewhere along the horizon - their lost paradise. 

    In Three Sisters, life unfolds between what is and what might have been in a fragile space, where faith, hope, and love rise like quiet prayers. The balance between laughter and tears is delicate; people talk with the deepest regrets while pouring tea, and dream of better futures while tripping over their own feet. 

    Written with humor, nostalgia, and deep compassion, Chekhov’s masterpiece tells a story of the persistence of hope. These characters are not distant figures from another time - they are us today, with all our joy, fear, desperation, desire, loneliness, and silence. See them onstage in this boldly honest adaptation performed by one of Sydney’s most exciting emerging collectives.

    Note: ticketing for Mainstage productions at the Old Fitz Theatre operate on a Dynamic Pricing model.
