A cruder, gruffer outline of the plight of the wistful Prozorov sisters serves to emphasize the anguish of their Chekhovian stagnation. This latest work from Letts envisions the revered classic through a fresh lens that revives the passionate characters and redoubles the tragic effect of their stunted dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracy Letts \u003c\/b\u003ewas awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play for \u003ci\u003eAugust: Osage County\u003c\/i\u003e.
