Synopsis : Olga, Massa, and Irena are three sisters from Russia. Certain financial problems lead Olga and Massa to immigrate to Athens. Irena's arrival upsets the lives of the two sisters, who already lead a messy life. Each sister suspects the other of not being all that she claims to be. One suspicion leads to another: Does Massa work at the musical academy or is she a drug dealer? Is Irena really a nun or is she involved with the Russian Mafia and selling guns?

But sisterly solidarity prevails and eventually the trio decide to leave for Moscow together. However, as in a certain other play about three sisters, actually getting there is another matter altogether. Athens-Moscow is a hilarious, inspired reimaginaning of Chekhov's great play.

Performance rights must be secured before production.
