Part fairy tale and part humanitarian howl, this one-person show was first produced at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to critical and audience acclaim. The work is funny and tender and all the things you pray to encounter in a theatrical experience, and so we want to bring it to a city near you.

"Thoroughly compelling - a beautifully written piece - masterfully staged and performed - gorgeous storytelling!!" - Manon S.

“I think we ought to have faith or ought to seek a faith, or else this life is empty, empty. . . . To live and not to understand why cranes fly; why children are born; why there are stars in the sky. . . . You've got to know what you're living for or else it's all nonsense...” – Masha, Three Sisters

In this adaptation of Chekhov’s Three Sisters, the Prozorov sisters are the only ones left. As they retell and relive their story, they investigate friendship, desire, and inertia. Hopefully, this time, they’ll get to Moscow.

An overheard coffee shop conversation, reenacted by mug-puppets, gets interrupted by a nosy barista and two women asking the trans guy listening in on them to take their picture, misgendering him in the process. His resulting emotional spiral takes us back to his last break-up---all over a cup of coffee.
