by Mustapha Matura

‘What matters is knowing how to carry on, how to bear your cross and keep faith.’ This translated line from an earlier Chekhov play sums up the shifting moods of Mustapha Matura’s transposition of Three Sisters (1901) to Trinidad in the 1940s.

Matura portrays these siblings, newly orphaned and facing penury, at a precarious moment in history. They’re wrapped up in dreamy nostalgia for the family’s blissful time in the university city of Cambridge, England and trapped in beleaguered island isolation brought about by the perils of a World War. The patriotic, generous impulses and willing sacrifices in this Caribbean corner of the British Empire go alongside the comic, the romantic and the tragic incidents of everyday family life captured in this play.

By arrangement with Concord Theatricals and Judy Daish Associates.
