Synopsis: The play takes place over a several-year period in the provincial town in which the Prozorov sisters and their brother Andrei live. Olga, the oldest, is a high school teacher; Masha is unhappily married to a teacher in the same school; and Irina and Andrei have dreams of moving back to Moscow. Vershinin, the new Army commander, joins the group of military hangers-on around the Prozorov home, a group that also includes the ineffectual doctor, Chebutykin, who lets everyone know that he has forgotten all the medicine he ever knew.

Synopsis: At Freud’s Study in Hampstead, London, Dr. Sigmund Freud requests to meet with professor Lewis in regards to his intellect on why he has suddenly abandoned truth and embrace an insidious life of believing in God and the Roman Catholic Church.

Although they have different viewpoints, both men respect one another’s opinion, improving their relationship later on during the play.
