Barron's adaptation of Three Sisters joins two recent re-imaginings. In Inua Ellams' Three Sisters, seen at the National last fall, three sisters in Owerri longed to return to their home in Lagos. Halley Feiffer’s Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow, seen at MCC Theater last summer, used contemporary dialogue.
