The Prozorov sisters pine for Moscow. Culture and life reside in the city centre, while they live among the mundane of a crumbling army garrison after their father's death. Though living with their brother Andrey, nothing keeps them back but their own misfortune, decisions, and the inertia of negativity that continues to follow this family.

An energetic and vitalizing adaptation by playwright Tracy Letts of one of Anton Chekhov's most beloved plays, envisioning the revered classic through a fresh lens that revives the passionate characters and redoubles the tragic effect of their stunted dreams.
