"Zestier and more colloquial than most translations . . . Letts' main achievement here is to make Chekhov more emotional, accessible and active."—[i]Chicago Tribune"I've seen over a dozen [i]Three Sisters, but never has the final scene . . . registered so hard. It's the cumulative effect of . . . searing truth-telling—from Letts, who knows family dysfunction as only the author of [i]August: Osage County can, and Chekhov, the good doctor who diagnoses all our weaknesses that are so strong."—[i]Chicago Theater BeatWhen the champion of modern family drama takes on the genre's patriarch, the result is an energetic and vitalizing adaptation of one of Anton Chekhov's most beloved plays. A cruder, gruffer outline of the plight of the wistful Prozorov sisters serves to emphasize the anguish of their Chekhovian stagnation. This latest work from Letts envisions the revered classic through a fresh lens that revives the passionate characters and redoubles the tragic effect of their stunted dreams. [b]Tracy Letts was awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play for [i]August: Osage County. His other plays include [i]Superior Donars; Pulitzer Prize-finalist [i]Man from Nebraska; Killer Joe, which was adapted into a critically acclaimed film; and [i]Bug, which has played in New York, Chicago and London and was adapted into a film. Letts garnered a Tony Award for his performance in the Broadway revival of [i]Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
