Three Sisters

Having dabbled with Ibsen for the first time a couple of years back, the Globe now invites the mighty Chekhov into its fold with this new adaptation of Three Sisters from playwright Rory Mullarkey, directed by Caroline Steinbeis. Most intriguing is the casting for this production of the immortal play about a trio of sisters wilting away in the Russian provinces: Globe boss Michelle Terry will play eldest sister Olga, with her husband – and Motherland star – Paul Ready in the relatively minor role of officer Vershinin. Shannon Tarbet will play Masha, with Ruby Thompson as Irina.
