“To Moscow! To Moscow!” For the three Prozorov sisters confined to the provincial town with their brother, Andrey, their obsession with the metropolis becomes more and more torturous as the fateful moment approaches when the regiment – and with it the charming colonel Vershinin – must move to another garrison, and as a result life will become pointless. The flirting, love, dreams, hopes, mismatches and disappointments (Chekhov purposely subtitled his play “comedy”) reach a climax; nothing else matters, and faced with the impossibility of following one’s heart, death itself is only a small accident.
Performed by the excellent actors of the National Theater of Budapest, led by the director of the company, the actor and stage director Robert Alföldi, the characters live frantically the story narrated on stage by Andrei Şerban, with both irony and compassion.
