Three Sisters is a play about the disintegration of privileged class in Russia during the late of 19th century and the search for meaning in the modern world. The play follows the lives and aspirations of the Prozorov family: Three sisters (Olga, Masha, and Irina) and their brother Andrei. The siblings are discontented and frustrated with their present existence. The sisters are refined and cultured young women who grew up in urban Moscow. For the past eleven years they have been living in a small provincial town. Moscow is a major part of the plot -- the sisters are always dreaming of life in the metro and constantly express that they will go back some day. However, as the play develops they seem to move further away from their goal.

Under the guidance of Dr. Israfil Shaheen (chairman of the department), Shudip Chakroboti directs the play.

The performance session will end on July 10.
