2038 – Spring - Another baby has been born, Lucia.

A new pandemic is sweeping across the country. In the midst of this tide, an immense storm howls in from the Solway Firth. And there are storms in the household. Chloe and Olivia are clashing, Mia confesses her love for Alex, while Erin and Andrew are in despair.

Three Sisters - A story from the climate future

A timely and thought provoking drama based on Chekhov’s Three Sisters, available now on all major platforms.  

Created by renowned art and social justice group Platform, Three Sisters - a story from the climate future is an exploration of how people carry on in a dislocated world, suffering from the impact of climate change and repeated pandemics. 


Set in rural Scotland in the late 2030s, co-creators James Marriott and Lena Šimić have used the structure and sensibility of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters - a dissection of isolation, longing, and family ties - to explore a thriving community set up against the backdrop of social and ecological collapse. But after 15 years of weathering storms, floods, and lockdowns, can this community survive itself?
