Three Sisters: After Chekhov de Inua Ellams

Three Sisters: After Chekhov: Student Editions

Adaptat de Inua Ellams Oladipo Agboluaje Autor Anton Chekhov
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2026
Owerri, Nigeria, 1967, on the brink of the Biafran Civil War.
Sisters Lolo, Nne Chukwu and Udo are grieving the loss of their father. Months before, two ruthless military coups plunged the country into chaos. Fuelled by foreign intervention, the conflict encroaches on their provincial village, and the sisters long to return to their former home in Lagos.

This Student Edition of Inua Ellams's adaptation looks at how Anton Chekhov's original play has been transposed to an African context, the background to the Biafran War and how its politics and people's experiences are represented in the play.

Recenzii

A startlingly vivid account of the civil war and a direct assault on British neocolonialism ... Ellams brilliantly uses the context to sharpen specific relationships ... Above all, the play offers a searing attack on British responsibility for the war dating to the time when they created Nigeria out of 250 ethnic groups and languages.
The new setting gives the play a freshness and punch that makes its humane complications and disappointments live and breathe in new air ... It's brave enough to be funny too; the comedy makes the tragedy weigh all the more heavily when it arrives ... Each character is delicately and carefully fitted into this new setting ... A smart and sophisticated rethinking ... provoking new thoughts and old feelings in a very Chekovian way.
Proof that Inua Ellams is one of our most exciting playwrights
