Sisters stick together

The play "Three Sisters" was a great story and I am very happy that I had the chance to see it. I had a great view thanks to my nice teacher, thank you Mrs. Christiansen:) I was very impressed with the actors and actresses lines. Each one of them did a tremendous job, not one of them strayed out of character nor did any of them forget their lines. I really liked how I could feel the special bond between each of the sisters. They really care about one another and that was very evident when listening to their speeches to each other. The eldest; Olga, clearly takes her many jobs very serious. Not only is she a very respectable teacher, she is also very important in her sister's lives. She cares about them and she has clearly taken her job as the oldest to heart, especially since they no longer have their parents. The middle sister; Masha has a difficult story where she is stuck in a marriage where she clearly has not been happy for quite some time. Her husband Kulygin clearly cannot see or just chooses not to see just how unimpressed she is with him anymore. The youngest sister Irina is depicted as a happy go lucky women who seems to see the bright side to life and does not have blue days. She also appreciates hard work and does not seem to mind early hours and thinks it is necessary for everyone to have jobs. The director did a great job with the script/text, each line either made you frown or laugh. This story really got to the base of what people go through, the good and the bad. There is a lot of good topics that are brought up. I really enjoyed the lines that Natasha had, she had a killer script. Her performance was well done, I really disliked her and that was the intent on her performance, she did a tremendous job with her script. I really feel that she owned her script, that is just how good she really was. I could feel the happiness that Andrey the brother really felt when making Natasha his wife, and how he progressed into slow bitterness over realizing that the women he married was not as great as he made her out to be. His misery was very clear and he did a great job. Each of the performances really shined with wonderful directing and acting. The script really showed how each one of the actors changed, some for the better and some not so much better. A very tremendous performance by each and every one of them. It was well worth seeing.

Thank you,
Tracy:)

I agree. They did do a really good job staying in character, and had great connections with each other.
