Three Sisters de Anton Chekhov

Three Sisters: Modern Plays

Autor Anton Chekhov Adaptat de Inua Ellams
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 apr 2021
Chekhov's iconic characters are relocated to Nigeria in this bold new adaptation.

Owerri, 1967, on the brink of the Biafran Civil War.

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.

Following his smash-hit Barber Shop Chronicles, Inua Ellams returns to the National Theatre with this heartbreaking retelling of Chekhov's classic play.

Notes

Recenzii

A punky, funny, furious takedown of the cult of the classic... the piece never denies that Chekhov still speaks to us, it also questions its existence... loud, rude, provocative and, yes, messy - that's all part of its glorious defiance. Don't go expecting the pretty, predictable or polite. But do go. ????
A gloriously playful evening, stuffed with musical richness. If you know the original you will note how the company both honour its structure and smash it... it understands that each generation must take what they need from a play and that it must speak not to the past but to the millions of Olgas, Irinas and Mashas of today. Otherwise, why bother? ????
Less a take on the play than a music and movement-fuelled examination of why plays like this continue to be staged... some of the basic features of Chekhov's play remain, but RashDash push at its edges and mess with its mechanics... RashDash incisively skewers the privileged ennui of Chekhov's characters and the limited horizons the playwright imagined for his female protagonists. If the classics aren't for everyone, RashDash ask, then what are they for? ????
'Funny, furious - loud, rude, provocative and messy.'
