• LA Theatre Works, Sunday, October 18 at 10:00 pm, Anton Chekhov's "Three Sisters" starring Jennifer Westfeldt, John Hamm, and Tessa Thompson

  Meet Olga, Masha, and Irina, warm and cultured young sisters who were reared in the exciting hubbub of Moscow, but have been living in the dull, gossipy backwaters of Russia for far too long. With their father’s passing, and the ordinary grip of day-to-day life slowly suffocating them, the urge to return to the city with its rich and exciting life rises to a fever pitch. First performed in 1901, Three Sisters beautifully mixes humor and heartbreak and is a perennial favorite of actors and audiences alike. Translated by Christopher Hampton.

As a result, he was branded a heretic and faced excommunication. Includes an interview with Steven Nadler, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and author of A Book Forged in Hell: Spinoza’s Scandalous Treatise and the Birth of the Secular Age.
