Konstantin Bogomolov, director: Our production is a sincere attempt to make the text of Chekhov's play extremely snappy, extremely modern, extremely natural. We took the text with the actors for six months and studied it very carefully. At such immersion all symbolism of Three Sisters vanishes, and what is revealed instead is astonishing, finest, absolutely substantiated psychological structure. That's what draws me to the play. The reality of people living in the provincial military town, with all their natural and specific, situational manifestations of the human qualities: love, emotions, relationships. I hope in our production there will be no symbolism, there will be no abstraction, there will be no philosophizing. It will be very concrete, extremely mundane, and first of all, emotionally mundane, story of ordinary people."
