New Line Theatre · March 2016ERA's MOSCOW! is a drinking-game version of Anton Chekhov's play THREE SISTERS. Olga, Irina, and Masha are sisters living in an insignificant town in Russia. They spend a lot of time talking about how all they really want to do is go back to Moscow, where everything is better. The town's people come and go through the sisters' house, which they own with their brother, Andrey. Everyone is so emotionally erratic — is it because they're Russian? Perhaps it's because they're drunk. THREE SISTERS examines the frivolity of privileged life; MOSCOW! intensifies it with live music, dancing, and vodka.
