...distinct--if annoying--personalities. Heitzi Epstein (Olga), Jenny Cornuelle (Masha) and Anne Clark (Irina) turn in carefully sustained and sensitive performances as the three sisters whose emotional foibles and frustrations are the play's heart. Clark as the youngest sister deftly moves from lighthearted young girl to pensive despairing woman.

Anita Ellis recalls a memorable appearance with Billie Holiday: "I couldn't get over how she changed-from that naked, smoking, tough woman in the dressing room to the cool, motionless, vessel-of-life singer onstage." Joe Turner tells how as a teenager he wheedled his way into singing at a local Kansas City club: "The man who owned the joint . . . asked me how old I was, and I told him twenty...
