“Maybe when more time has gone by, in two or three hundred years, people will know how to catch the fire before it ignites”
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.
Directed by Marc Atkinson Borrull with designs by Molly O'Cathain, this enduring Chekhov classic is given a contemporary Irish take in a new adaptation by award-winning playwright Ciara Elizabeth Smyth.
This adaptation is an examination of nostalgia, purpose and the cyclical nature of history, with a sharp twist of humour, and will feature performances by Megan Cusack (Call The Midwife), Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls), Alex Murphy (Young Offenders) and Máiréad Tyers (Extraordinary).
Duration 2 hr 30 mins (inc interval)
