Lyric Hammersmith and Filter

THREE SISTERS

Directed by Sean Holmes and Filter
By Anton Chekhov. A new version by Christopher Hampton

Hope, despair and vodka. Frustrated by their small-town existence, the Prozorov family long to return to Moscow. But as relationships, duty and misguided optimism take hold they soon find their dreams drifting further away from them.

Fusing imaginative staging, evocative physicality and Filter’s trademark use of sound, this brand new production distils the essence of Chekhov’s classic.

Following their hit show Twelfth Night (Royal Shakespeare Company), exhilarating theatre company Filter and the Lyric Hammersmith’s Artistic Director Sean Holmes delve beneath the surface to explore one family’s search for ever elusive happiness.

Sean directed the Traverse’s hugely successful Festival co-production of Pornography by Simon Stephens.
