June 20 & 21 — The Three Sisters

Love lies deep and untapped in the Prozorov girls, until a garrison arrives in their remote town. Can the newcomers bring the sisters the happiness they crave?

In this, his third adaptation of a Chekhov play, Pulitzer PrizeÐwinning author David Mamet offers a contemporary, highly accessible version of Chekhov's The Three Sisters. Working from a literal translation by Vlada Chernomordik, Mamet has rediscovered the characteristically modern chords in this powerful play and breathes new life into a timeless classic. This is Chekhov rendered in direct, colloquial language marked by Mamet's finely tuned ear for dialogue.

June 27 & 28 — 2 Short Plays

On The Harmful Effects of Tobacco

Chekhov originally wrote On The Harmful Effects of Tobacco in 1886 and during the next six years, he re-wrote it half a dozen times. The monologue ranges from comic to tragic as Ivan Ivanovitch Nyukhin delivers a lecture on the harmfulness of tobacco at the request, in a manner of speaking, of his wife.
