Back to the Piazzetta and after some free time for shopping or a coffee, you will reach the port of Marina Grande. The gardens offer beautiful views of the Faraglioni, Via Krupp, Marina Piccola and the Certosa di San Giacomo. You can also go on a walking tour with your guide to the famous “Piazzetta” and the Gardens of Augustus (entrance fee not included), donated by Friedrich Alfred Krupp (son of the founder of the great German steelworks) to the town of Capri and then named after the Roman Emperor. If you prefer, you can take the chair lift and reach Monte Solaro, 589 metres above sea level, to admire stunning views of the entire island, the front side of Mount Vesuvius, the Gulf of Naples and the Sorrento peninsula. Today the villa is a majestic building, surrounded by a large and lovely garden. During the excavations, the ruins of the Augustan period, finely decorated, proving the existence of a sumptuous Roman residence, were brought to light. You can take a walking tour of the area, and we recommend visiting “Villa San Michele”, built by the physician and writer Axel Munthe, where once there was an old chapel dedicated to San Michele. At approximately 9:20 am, you will depart by motorboat to reach the port of Marina Grande in Capri, the ride will take about an hour. The theater requires the wearing of masks while in the building.Start the day with breakfast at the hotel. For more information or to purchase tickets, call 73 or visit.

Three Sisters is presented by Two River Theater in the Joan & Robert Rechnitz Theatre in Red Bank through June 26th. I strongly urge you to take advantage of the opportunity to spend time with the Prozorov family and their friends at Chekhov’s Three Sisters! This is a once-in-a-lifetime night in the theater. But is it a wild, fantastical experience to be savored by those playgoers who make the trip to Red Bank. This is indeed not your mother’s - or your father’s - Three Sisters. The full-body puppets of the elderly characters Anfisa and Ferapont, crafted from the imaginations of designers Nick Lehane and Emma Wiseman, are brought to life by actors Regan Simms and Nick Ong. Fabian Fidel Aguilar’s costumes are perfect reflections of the characters wearing them, from army soldiers to the womenfolk and servants. The lighting designs of Emma Dean and Caitlin Smith Rapoport transform the set into hellscapes, discotheques, early mornings, and other locations required.

Jean Kim’s magnificent multi-level set becomes various indoor and outdoor spaces of the family estate. Holden’s directorial choices and George’s inspired translation are matched in creativity by the members of the design team. Cherbutykin dispenses cynical commentary on the various goings-on. Rudy Roushdi’s Baron Tuzenbach and Niall Powderly’s Solyony are deadly rivals for Irina’s love, while Mary Neufeld’s Dr.

Gabriel Levy is Kulygin, Masha’s besotted husband, while Rami Margron’s military commander Vershinin appeals to her unfulfilled romantic longings. Alex Brightwell makes a solid Two River debut as their older brother, Andrey Prozorov, whose dreams of becoming a professor are crushed by his pushy, vulgar wife Natasha, played by Kelly Letourneau with comedic gusto. The resulting mash-up grabs the audience’s attention from the start, and only lets go three and a half hours later (including intermission) at the play’s end.ĭirector Sara Holden directs a phenomenally gifted, non-traditionally cast troupe, headed by Anna Ishida as Olga, the eldest sister, a duty-bound teacher resigned to her lot Annalise Lawson as Masha, the middle sister trapped in a loveless marriage and Nemuna Caesay as Irina, the youngest sister dreaming of a return to the splendors of Moscow. They also come with interpolated songs by Talking Heads, Heart, and Queen, among others. Chekhov’s insights into the human condition now come with shadow puppets, two ballets - one nightmarish, one erotic - full-body puppets, a marching band, and rock concert-style lighting effects. While the basic framework of the play is still intact, much has been added to it in terms of execution and design. This character study of romantic longings and unfulfilled dreams reaches out to connect with contemporary audiences - and succeeds brilliantly. Their latest effort, Madeleine George’s new translation of Chekhov’s Three Sisters, turns the familiar story of a family in a provincial town in nineteenth-century Russia into a phantasmagorical spectacle. Two River Theater in Red Bank is noted for imaginative stagings not only when it comes to new plays but also for tackling old familiar productions.
