The mono-performance ‘Three Years’ based on the novel of the same name by A. P. Chekhov.

Laptev, the son of a harsh millionaire merchant, comes to the province to support his sick sister. Here he meets Yulia Sergeyevna. A sudden burst of unrequited passion, an awkward proposal of marriage, a hasty refusal, and most of all, the ambiguous consent that follows, give rise to a chain of events that will produce radical changes in the lives of Laptev and his relatives in just three years.

This story can rightly be called a study of the human soul. Whether marriage without love is possible, whether happiness is possible and whether we are worthy of finding it – these are the questions we will try to find an answer to.
