Photo Flash: First Look at The Hypocrites' THREE SISTERS at The Den Theatre
The Hypocrites are pleased to conclude their 2014-15 season with Anton Chekhov''s heartbreaking comedy THREE SISTERS, adapted and directed by Geoff Button, playing April 17 - June 6, 2015 at their new home, The Den Theatre Mainstage, 1329 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago. Tickets are available at www.the-hypocrites.com. The press performance is Wednesday, April 22 at 8 pm.
THREE SISTERS will feature Ned Baker, Erin Barlow, Joel Ewing, Max Fabian, Lindsey Gavel, John Kahara, Bill McGough, Toby Nicholson, Mary Poole, Noah Simon, Vance Smith, D''Wayne Taylor, Hilary Williams and Mary Williamson.
The Hypocrites explore the absurd, existential comedy of Chekhov''s Prozorov sisters, whose daily lives in a drab provincial town pale in comparison to their imagined futures in the big city. Director Geoff Button follows the gradually building devastation that results from the sisters'' comic missteps.
"I'm particularly drawn to Three Sisters because I think it's about the ways in which we're all culpable for our failed hopes," comments adapter/director Geoff Button. "I don't see three women lazily pining for Moscow, I see them constantly taking action, just in pursuit of all the wrong goals. Life in Three Sisters is determined not by the characters' big picture dreams, but by all the petty decisions and daily frustrations that steer them off course," adds Button.
The production team includes for THREE SISTERS includes William Boles (scenic design), Jeremy Floyd (costume design), William Kirkham (lighting design), Stephen Gawrit (sound design), Danielle Case (props design) and JC Widman (stage manager).
