Classic Cuts: Three Sisters

Synopsis:
Comedy or tragedy? Or absurdist theatre? Chekhov's Three Sisters" has divided critics and audiences ever since its first production. In an absurdist setting, using Chekov's original words, the sisters are still trapped 15 years later, but now in a waiting room surrounded by the ghosts and memories of characters who have brought them to this point. - See more at: http://oran-mor.co.uk/whats-on/classic-cuts-three-sisters/?eID=5376#sthash.HL4mxRjT.dpuf

Hostess, The

Synopsis:
When ann arrives back from the supermarket, she is followed into her home by another woman, kindly offering to help her in with the shopping. Once the uninvited guest is in however she becomes impossible to get out again. When a man then appears on the doorstep, claiming to know ann from years ago, the unexpected hostess finds herself at the centre of a complex and bizarre story - with some very surprising twists and turns. Both funny and sinister, The Hostess is a real psychological twister of a play.

Synopsis:
When not so merry widow Stella arrives home pickled after an afternoon with her lawyer, her sister Susan, uppity daughter Millie and their drippy menfolk are less than impressed. When a stranger appears - a black man, no less - all manner of skeletons come crawling out of closets to lay bare the rotten carcass of a society still riddled with racial, class and sexual prejudice, while Stella finds some sense of prefeminist self determination. - Cooper, Herald
