We just got a note from Elizabeth Liang about a new production of the classic Anton Chekhov play, Three Sisters. The twist? All three sisters in this version of the play are mixed women. If you’re in LA, check it out from November 4 to December 11 at the Gene Bua Acting for Life Theatre. See here for more details (you’ll have to scroll halfway down the page).

The Prozorov siblings are portrayed as hapas (multi-ethnic people of partially Asian descent) by hapa actors. The characters’ restlessness and alienation from the townsfolk is thus not only a matter of class and education but also ethnicity. Set on the verge of the modern world, this production will explore themes of heartbreak, lost time, displacement, and hope, asking “What will happen to those unprepared for the future?”
