Please join Jovanni Sy, artistic director of the Gateway Theatre, in conversation with playwright Simon Johnston about Simon’s new play, Sisters.
Set in 1936, two Russian sisters live in a massive house in a Chinese town. As they struggle to make ends meet and maintain the illusion of their former privileged lives, their Chinese sister-in-law begins to take over the house, one room at a time. Sisters is a beautifully written tale inspired by Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters.
Simon Johnston will read from his play, now in performance on the Gateway Theatre’s Mainstage in Richmond, January 31 to February 16, 2013.
Admission to this event includes $5 discount on tickets to Gateway Theatre’s Sisters.
