Playing Chekhov in China

Adaptation of master writer's famous play places a fresh spin on a Russian classic, Cheng Yuezhu reports. For him, Russian literary luminary Anton Chekhov's classic Three Sisters is one such play. To mark both the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia and the 120th anniversary of Chekhov's death, the theater presented an adaptation of Three Sisters directed by Li, between Oct 26 and 30. Set in a provincial town, the play follows the family of a military officer, with a focus on the three titular sisters — Olga, Masha and Irina — who live with their brother.
