Interview: 'Everyone Is Aware of Bringing Chekov Into a Shakespeare Building": Actor Shannon Tarbet On THREE SISTERS at The Globe
by Gary Naylor - Feb 17, 2025
With a starry The Seagull opening soon at The Barbican, the peerless playwright is in vogue right now, his unstable worlds of uneasy transition chiming with the nervous times. On the banks of the Thames, the third of the fab four tragedies, Three Sisters, (or should that be comedies?) is receiving rave reviews. BroadwayWorld's Gary Naylor sat down with Shannon Tarbet, who plays Masha, to talk about the great Russian's debut in the home of the great Englishman.

Review: THREE SISTERS, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 13, 2025
The Prozorov sisters are desperate for entertainment. Plagued by their dreary provincial life, they yearn for the lights and excitement of Moscow, but have to make do with the visiting soldiers. When their only brother marries, their sister-in-law isn’t exactly what they dreamed of. Her lacking sense of fashion and initial insecurity builds up to a sharp bossiness upon becoming Mrs Prozorov, leaving Olga, Masha, and Irina at the mercy of the new lady of the house. If you had to choose one work that represented what Chekhov brings to the table, it would be this.

by Debbie Gilpin - Dec 17, 2024
“Nothing is trivial, and nothing is important, it’s all the same.' Conflict rages around the world, and yet normal life (with its requisite anxieties) is expected to go on regardless. This is the situation in which Tolstoy’s War and Peace characters find themselves; the Napoleonic Wars continue, but high society and family dramas will never rest.

Seven years after it closed on Broadway in 2017, Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 is finally arriving in London at the Donmar Warehouse in December. The show, written by Dave Malloy, takes a seventy-page segment of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace (Part Eight, to be specific) and transforms it into a sung-through musical. The titular characters of Natasha Rostova and Pierre Bezukhov are respectively played by Chumisa Dornford-May and Declan Bennett.
