With \u003ci\u003eThree Sisters\u003c\/i\u003e (1901), his portrait of the Prozorov family's elusive dream of returning from the provinces to an idealized Moscow, he captured a restlessness and yearning which remain enduringly modern. In Paul Schmidt's version - the basis for the Wooster Group's acclaimed adaptation \u003ci\u003eBrace Up \u003c\/i\u003e - we can perceive, for the first time in English, a refreshingly clear and colloquial style we instinctively know as Chekhov's own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eANTON CHEKHOV\u003c\/b\u003e (1860-1904) led a double life as a practicing physician and a celebrated author of short stories and plays.
