The Cherry Orchard

Adaptation by Andrew Whittle

 

A new perspective on Anton Chekhov’s classic tragicomic drama about families and what happens to them when present-day reality intrudes upon their fantasies and memories of childhood.

 

Madame Lubov struggles to hold her family together and save her house and beloved cherry orchard from being sold in a world that is changing faster and further than she can begin to comprehend and where the downstairs staff no longer seem to know their place. 

 

Set in the very early years of the last century the play captures the dying moments of the Russian aristocracy before revolution would sweep them completely aside.
