NatyaBharati’s Theatrical Production inspired by Anton Chekhov’s  “Three Sisters”  Synopsis“Three Sisters,” is a satirical look at the snobbery and misguided values of the Sen family. The story revolves around a mother, Mrs.Sen and her three daughters, Rita, Tina, and Dipsy who were unwillingly transplanted from Calcutta to a small north Indian town in the 1970s, by her husband, Brigadier Sen. Tony, the son who is the youngest member of the Senfamily, is viewed by the mother, as the heir. The nanny, Doris, who was a de facto mother of the Sen children, subsequently serves as the underpaid loneservant of the family. She also serves as a catalyst in helping Rita develop an egalitarian point of view and in helping bring her closer to her fellow teacher, Mr. Bose. After the death of Brigadier Sen, the mother and the older sister, Rita, continue to yearn for the big city and the life they left behind.The younger sisters and brother who have fewer memories of the old world, adaptto life in a smaller town and to their limited circumstances. Eventually,nostalgia restricts the family from enjoying their present circumstances and from moving forward. The subtext of the story reflects the evolution of western centric colonial India to an indigenous, messy, post-colonial world.
