TRI SESTRY
A bold reimagining of Chekhov’s Three Sisters by Robert Parsons.
July 19 & 20
Tri Sestry—Russian for Three Sisters—is a bold reimagining of the Chekhov classic, seen through the eyes of Anfisa, the overlooked housekeeper who has been trapped inside every production of the play since its 1901 premiere at the Moscow Art Theatre. In a cosmic twist, Anfisa is “quantum-leaped” into the body of Mama Juana, a Mexican housekeeper in a present-day Texas border town. Tri Sestry spins the familiar into the fantastical, where time loops, lives blur, and history itself might be coaxed into letting go.
