Chekov's THREE SISTERS at the Royal Court Theatre in London, 1967. I was 21 and sitting in the front row. Glenda Jackson (before her movie roles) was Marsha, Avril Elgar Olga the oldest sister and a luminous young Marianne Faithfull was Irina the youngest sister. I can still picture her on the stage being so radiant - as I told Marianne some years ago when she was signing her autobiography! A stunning production directed by William Gaskill - and the programme had the complete text too! There were other THREE SISTERS including Joan Plowright at the National, but Glenda and Marianne are the ones I remember.
