Job Summary

Nonsuch Studios are looking for three physical theatre performers and devisers to join us for an R&D process to explore a total reimagining of Three Sisters.

Job Description

Three Sisters [Go To Moscow] is a new reimagining of a very famous play where three sisters spend four acts politely wishing to go to Moscow, deciding to go to Moscow, not going to Moscow because their house burns down and then wishing that they went to Moscow.

It’s a play that is synonymous with waiting, longing and wanting to see change happen, but the change never comes in a world where Russia is changing through war and where power, ownership and self-preservation battle within a small family’s life.

Depending on the production, sometimes it can be great. Sometimes it can also be really, really, really boring.

BUT, what would happen if they did go to Moscow? What would happen if they were released from their positions? Where might they go? What might they be enabled to discover and achieve? Would they find the satisfaction, purpose and belonging they were so desperately pining for, or would they simply find things exactly the same… or worse?

Full of music, riotous movement and being set-free from the structures that contain us, this is Three Sisters after Chekhov and after the world we live in today.

The project will be led by Nonsuch Studios Artistic Director, Edward Boott & Associate Director Cat Giles.
