Three Sisters: Theatre

Three Sisters: Theatre

In 2007, The Temple staged the UK Premiere of David Mamet’s adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Three Sisters.  The site-specific production took place in the Dining Room, Drawing Room and Hallway at Chesters, a Georgian mansion house.


Wonderful.  Really superb.  Kenny Blyth, Queen Margarets University, Edinburgh.

An absolutely brilliant evening: very fly on the wall.  Rosie Ellison, Edinburgh Film Focus

A really unique theatre experience.

This Russian setting is perfectly transposed to Chesters, in scenes where soldiers toast the old Borders family portraits on the walls with vodka, sprawl on soft sofas, and do energetic Russian dances dangerously close to antique furniture. Tim Cornwell, The Scotsman Review.
