Three Sisters, National Theatre

Favourite stage direction: “In the living room, Olga in navy, Masha in black, Irina in white.”

Text of the day: “By the time a man realizes/ His father was right,/ He already has a son/ Who thinks he’s wrong.”

Text of the day: “When I’m lying here waiting for Fergal to sleep, I look up and imagine I’m on a beach somewhere starring up at the stars.”

This week, I ventured out to National Theatre to see a revival of Alan Ayckbourn’s 1980 comedy, Season’s Greetings.
