John Doyle to Direct Three Sisters at Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park

After achieving Tony-winning success with a revival of Company that began at Cincinnati’s Playhouse in the Park, director John Doyle will return to the midwestern theater to stage a new adaptation of Chekhov’s Three Sisters by Sarah Ruhl. The play will run from October 29 to November 21. No casting has been announced.

Three Sisters will be Doyle’s first non-musical production in America. His recent work on New York stages includes three collaborations with Stephen Sondheim: the Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd, which earned Doyle a 2006 Best Director Tony, Company and Road Show.

Ruhl’s recent New York productions include The Clean House, Eurydice and Dead Man’s Cell Phone. She will make her Broadway debut in the fall with Lincoln Center Theater’s production of In the Next Room or The Vibrator Play.

Doyle's creative team for Three Sisters will include costume designer Ann Hould-Ward, scenic designer Scott Pask and lighting designer Jane Cox.
