And that house belonged to Wilson’s legendary Aunt Ester—forcing Harmond, and the Hill District itself, into a battle between the past and the future.     Madeleine George, Translator THREE SISTERS By Anton Chekhov Translated by Pulitzer Prize finalist Madeleine George Directed by Sara Holdren RECHNITZ THEATER January 15–February 6/2022 Two River Theater playwright-in-residence Madeleine George (Two River's Hurricane Diane, Seven Homeless Mammoths Wander New England) collaborates with director Sara Holdren (Two River's Twelfth Night) to create a new translation of Chekhov’s classic play about big souls trapped in tiny boxes.
