A hugely enjoyable production. Alive, fresh and beautifully staged, it underlines Chekhov’s ongoing relevance.
★★★★ Irish Examiner
A fresh and fleet production of Three Sisters with a sharp turn from Saoirse-Monica Jackson.
★★★★ The Irish Times
Saoirse-Monica Jackson is hilarious and electrifying in this funny and engaging Three Sisters, which continues to stir the soul.
Irish Independent
In a big house, in a small town, three sisters wait. They wait for the right time to leave. They wait for the love they deserve. They wait for their lives to begin. And while they wait, the world turns.
Chekhov’s classic is given a contemporary Irish treatment by Sugarglass and award-winning playwright Ciara Elizabeth Smyth (Lie Low, Royal Court Theatre). An examination of nostalgia, purpose and the cyclical nature of history, this new version speaks to a generation whose lives were put on ice by Covid, housing crises and failed promises of the future. With a sharp twist of humour, Chekhov’s original is stripped back to reveal its essential modernity.
Starring an ensemble of Ireland’s finest actors and musicians including Derry Girls’ Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Megan Cusack (Call the Midwife), Lorcan Cranitch (Cracker), Alex Murphy (The Young Offenders) and Máiréad Tyers (Extraordinary), Three Sisters headlined Dublin Theatre Festival and played to over 8,000 people across seven sold-out performances at the Gaiety Theatre.
