 Three Sisters
by Anton Chekhov
The play takes place where the Prozorov sisters - Olga, Masha and Irina - and their brother Andrei live. Showing the process in which the beautiful dreams they had were gradually consumed by vulgar everyday life. The story is full of drama: philosophy, adultery, unrequited love, dueling and death. Characters are involved in such dramas and never know what and where they are. Chekhov considered this ridiculousness and sorrow to be comedy.
