Stratford Festival Reviews

Another in a series of great reviews. ""Three Sisters" is a classic piece of ensemble theater, and director Martha Henry's stellar cast taps the play for every ounce of folly, delusion and destruction."

"An exquisite production in every way... It's a gem of a production." Lynn publishes the Slotkin Letter and reports for CBC Radio in Toronto. Click "radio reviews" or "picks and pans" on her website for more.

Coulbourn raves: "Under Henry's careful and considered direction, this is a production that celebrates the kind of theatricality in Chekhov that too many lesser directors try to excise. It's a production to treasure."

"While many directors will leaven the play's existential ache with humour, Henry lightens hers by celebrating sisterhood."

"There have been other productions of Three Sisters that I've hugely admired, but none that has involved me as deeply with the characters as this one. It's one of the great evenings in the Canadian theatre. And I expect it will get richer."

"What makes Three Sisters so profound is Chekhov’s tender, yet unflinching, portrait of palpably unhappy lives that hunger for meaning and purpose without repast."

"Acting of this superb intensity doesn't come along very often."
