Over a four week period–through text work, improv and character study—the STUDIO’62 company has crafted a new, contemporary take on the first act of Chekov’s classic play, placing the original text in direct conversation with the current political environment, as well as the extraordinary circumstances of quarantine. It was our intention to use the ZOOM platform to our advantage, rather than allowing it to be a detriment to our creative process, and to highlight the dynamics of remote gatherings as we went about crafting the script of “Three Sisters.” The resulting piece addresses not only the subject matter intended by Chekhov, but the current pandemic and its resulting isolation and uncertainty.
