In the ensuing years since 1918 much has been written in the West about this tragic family, but most of the published work on the Romanov family till now has focused on the two flawed monarchs, Nicholas and Alexandra, their love story and their horrifying demise – a fall from power that was a great deal of their own making. Interest too has generally focused on their only son and heir, Alexei, the longed-for boy whose life was blighted by the curse of haemophilia, passed unknowingly to him by his mother Alexandra. It does go a bit panto at times. “Please don’t hold my family against me,” the young Princess Victoria says to her betrothed, Prince Louis of Battenburg. “Why would I do that? Most of them are my family too,” he replies, camply. Cousin Willy, later Kaiser Wilhelm II, is a nostril-flaring villain with big Richard III energy, whose fragile ego is the catalyst for catastrophe. He is first rejected by beautiful cousin Ella, then humiliated at Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee in 1877 by his uncle Bertie, who seats him further down the table than the Queen of Hawaii, even though he is next in line to the German throne. (His coronation comes soon; his father, Fritz is ill, we are told, before seeing him touch a white handkerchief to his mouth, and cough, sadly.) Each character is introduced with a freeze-frame and the stamp of a giant caption of their name, which is very SAS Rogue Heroes. And there are a few lovely looking scenes that, at points, give it a Sofia Coppola feel, albeit one on a tight budget. At a time when great expense is being poured all over royal dramas, its contained approach does make it stand out, but in the end I found I was rooting for it, scrappiness and all. There is room for a contemporary stage interpretation of Little Woman and this production has a good basis but Four Sisters needs to be expanded and shaped if it’s going to really bring these characters to life. The best place for Evans and Lamrani to start is to consider why Alcott’s women continue to speak to us 150 years on and what they have to tell us about living as women now.

The Salazar sisters hold a virtual meeting to discuss their brother CJ's marital problems and reminisce a similar problem during their adolescence. Love Mae calls Caloy to meet again at the café. Alex overhears this and calls Bette. In the café, Chad, who also meets separately with Love Marie, confesses his feelings to Bobbie, having met earlier during one of Alex's film shoots, despite Bobbie's objections. They are overheard by Alex, who gets upset. Teddie taunts Bobbie, leading to a three-way fight with Alex, which is stopped when they are nearly hit by a car carrying Ibiang. Chad later apologizes to Alex and explains that he admires how Bobbie is so protective and loving of her. Meanwhile, Teddie reconnects with her former crush Jeremy, while Gabbie falls for her bestfriend JP, who decides to join the priesthood, breaking her heart. Four Sisters has been a Merrifield mainstay since 2008, moving to what was then a mostly industrial area before it redeveloped as the Mosaic District in 2012. The writers offer eight distinct scenes, some only a minute or two long in which various combinations of the sisters catch-up on their woes ranging from their incredulity at Meg’s marital routines to Amy’s fears about boyfriends and a scene entirely dedicated to Beth opening birthday presents. The contemporary setting works well, giving reason to the slightly scattered nature of the siblings and their waning knowledge of one another, but without a clear end point in mind the tone wavers between angry, profound, comic and melodramatic. The other women feel more limited, reduced almost to a single adjective. Lamrani’s Jo is ‘the tomboy’ which makes her loud and overbearing, building to a slightly screechy confrontation with her family members. Olivia Denton’s Beth is ‘the boring one’, something she is frequently reminded of, but we see very little beneath the surface, and Pippa Walton’s Amy is ‘the baby’ who rather sits on the edges of the drama while her older sisters squabble.

The Vietnamese restaurant Four Sisters is closing this weekend after nearly 15 years in Merrifield (staff photo by Angela Woolsey) On 17 July 1918, four young women walked down twenty-three steps into the cellar of a house in Ekaterinburg.

Their crime: to be the daughters of the last Tsar and Tsaritsa of All the Russias.

Four Sisters

As history lessons go, then, it is a very enjoyable one, telling a tale that cannot help but be fascinating. For most people, even the worst family arguments do not end in assassinations, revolutions and international conflict. Its documentary side mostly consists of photographs of first world war horrors and maps of empires. While it takes the personal lives of the Hesse girls as its way into the story, it cannot avoid the fact that this is about a grave and sombre period of history, so the many historians who appear to add colour, context and extra information are a necessary addition. It means this is a bit like watching The Crown and Googling which parts are true or not, except in this case, several highly qualified professors of history are doing it for you. Grace and Caloy learn that Bobbie qualified for a student exchange program to New York. Caloy recommends her to a scholarship from Linda and announces that Linda recruited him for a five-year teaching job in the U.S. and will temporarily stay at her house. Teddie is convinced that Caloy is having an affair, but Bobbie expresses doubt when her mother agrees with Caloy's plans.

Now, Kitty Evans and Safia Lamrani add their perspective by relocating the siblings to the modern day to discover that despite marriage, the opportunity to leave home and the freedom of a university education, these Four Sisters cannot escape themselves or each other.Huong Que soon became a local favorite, expanding with a second restaurant in the Eden Center to accommodate its growing customer base and even appearing on the late chef Anthony Bourdain’s show “No Reservations” in 2008, according to Viva Tysons.
