Fertile Ground, Day #4


Three Sisters, by Anton Chekhov
Northwest Classical Theatre Collaborative

This one was a bit of a stretch for a festival that's intended for new works.  But it is, at least, a new adaption, if only because the director couldn't find an existing translation that wasn't hopelessly old-fashioned, and so commissioned (wrote?) his own.

The language may have been new(ish), but the plot was unchanged.  No happy endings here.  And by the end I was emotionally drained.
