A collage play using
Anton Chekov’s Three Sisters
William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and King Lear
Beth Henley’s Crimes of the Heart
The Brady Bunch
Keeping Up With the Kardashians

by Madeline Barr, Julia Blauvelt, and Allison Taaffe
Directed by Stephen Spinella

If three sisters lived together and told a story of a family through the eyes of iconic systers throughout history, what would that story be? Three explores sisterhood throughout history and pop culture, tearing down the boundaries that separate television and theater, Shakespeare and the Brady Bunch, Moscow and Los Angeles. The story focuses on the youngest sister’s birthday party, as three women reconnect in their decaying childhood home. Sometimes the dialog lingers in one world; sometimes it switches rapid-fire among a Brady, a Weird Sister, a Prorozova, pulling text from whichever source moves the narrative forward.
