"It was good but certainly under appreciated by me since I never read plays and that was the first Chekhov I've read. A more scholarly/informed eye would probably get more out of it."
"I wonder if Chekhov's plays will be read and performed in 100 years? Our values have so evolved from the values of his characters, and our world has so evolved, that I wonder if readers, directors, and theatergoers will someday say, "Quit wining and take some responsibility for your life!" It will be hard to blame them, for there is a lot of wining. The three sisters of the title are dependant of the men in their lives for a place to live and sustenance, first their father and then their brother (in the case of the oldest, her husband), and are forced to live in a dull outpost where they long for the glitter they remember from their time in Moscow. Today, some would say, "Get a job and move," but those of us who are older have memories of unempowered women. 100 years hence? It would be interesting to know. This translation dropped a star for being more faithful to Mamet's sensibilities then Chekhov's."
