<div><p>&quot;Zestier and more colloquial than most translations . . . Letts' main achievement here is to make Chekhov more emotional, accessible and active.&quot;—<i>Chicago Tribune</i></p><p>&quot;I've seen over a dozen <i>Three Sisters</i>, 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 </i>can, and Chekhov, the good doctor who diagnoses all our weaknesses that are so strong.&quot;—<i>Chicago Theater Beat</i></p><p>When 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.</p><p><b>Tracy Letts </b>was awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play for<i>August: Osage County</i>.
