Synopsis

Until the arrival of the Three Sisters’ put-upon brother Andrey Prozorov.
Press Reviews
"[THE YALTA GAME] captures the egotism of love and the lack of fulfilment and self-knowledge that can lie even at the heart of sexual passion…” —The Telegraph (UK). “Friel’s [THE BEAR] is superbly funny, vivid, keenly alert to Chekhov’s modern sensitivities to gender issues…” —Financial Times (UK). “Brian Friel’s audacious, Chekhovian epilogue [AFTERPLAY] is short, masterful and hilarious…prior knowledge of Chekhov is neither assumed nor required…Friel inhabits the characters so masterfully you are ultimately less preoccupied with the backstory than increasingly fearful for their future."
— The Guardian (UK)
