It's only been two years, but Natasha and Andrey have already fallen out of whatever love thang they once had going on. It becomes clear that those Act I dreams may not come to pass after all. Conflict Natasha begins to conquer the house by turning away the carnival party, and things keep going downhill from there. All in all, it looks like pretty good stuff is happening for the Prozorovs. Also, the doctor gives Irina embarrassingly big birthday presents, the baron tries to flirt with her, Solyony is obnoxious, and so is Masha's husband, the "pedagogue." Still, nothing too dismal is happening yet. In other news, Andrey and Natasha are about to get engaged. As for Masha, she's pretty pissed with the whole order of things, but things start to look up when Vershinin arrives-he's just the sort of intellectual presence she needs to shake up her boring lifestyle. Olga isn't overflowing with optimism-she's always kind of stuck in the past-but she applies herself to mothering the clan and can join in Irina's enthusiasm. Irina holds out hope not only for Moscow, but for finding fulfillment through work. Three Sisters opens with a lot of possibility. Initial Situation The sisters celebrate Irina's birthday and fantasize about returning to Moscow.
