by Anton Chekhov adapted by Peter Watts from the translation by Elisaveta Fen

This is a touching picture of a sensitive cultured family from Moscow marooned in a grim provincial town in Northern Russia. The play shows the losing battle of the three girls and their adored brother to keep the ideals and values that are important to them. They are sure that if only they could get back to the capitalthey would be saved, but circumstances fight against them.
