Item Description
The Three Sisters. Scientists have to have theories so they can test them as they work towards truth. But Richard Feynman at Caltech told his students that their theories weren't as important as whatever they discovered that didn't fit their theories. That's the way to read plays: what doesn't fit? The Three Sisters is very well known and much performed. What secrets does it have left to be discovered? So many! Who doesn't know and understand The Three Sisters? And yet there is so much that is odd, awkward, so much that doesn't fit. I promise this is fun -- a kind of detective story, like all table work, like all translating of plays to the life of the stage, by translators or actors and directors. The mystery of Chebutykin, who could not be more peripheral, though at the same time oddly central, and really doesn't fit. When he fits, the play is even more astonishing.
Item Special Note
