“Three Sisters” takes place in and around the Prozorov family home outside an unnamed town in an unidentified province in Russia. It seems like many miles away from much excitement, and one of the most significant things about “Three Sisters” is where it doesn’t take place: Moscow. The sisters lived in Moscow when they were younger, and over the course of their lives Moscow has come to represent all their dreams and longings, the place where their lives will fall into place if they can only find a way to move back there. They each in their own way feel trapped by their circumstances, but whether or not a move to Moscow really would solve all their problems or would simply transfer their feelings of disenchantment to another place is one of the many themes in the play.
