AU Theatre Travels to Russia in the Year of 1901 for Chekhov's "Three Sisters"

Ashland University Department of Theatre travels abroad to Russia in the year of 1901 for its next mainstage production in the 2018-2019 season of "Treasured Classics Renewed." Directed by Dr. Teresa Durbin-Ames, Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters, adapted by the contemporary playwright Sarah Ruhl, will play for two weekends on Feb. 15, 16, 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m., and Feb. 17 at 2 p.m. in Hugo Young Theatre.

Chicago's native and award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl brings new life to one of the world's greatest plays and the masterpiece by Chekhov. The play is a humorous and heartbreaking portrait of a family wrestling with the distance between reality and dreams. Transported by their father's military career from their beloved Moscow to a small rural town, the three sisters (Olga, Masha and Irina) dream of the big city, where they imagine their dreary lives will become fulfilled.
