The Cherry Orchard
Date: Saturday 13th March
Time: 19:30
Liubov Ranevaskaya, a widowed landowner, returns home more or less insolvent after five years abroad. Everything appears just as she remembers it but hers is a diminishing world.
The vast and beautiful cherry orchard is soon to be sold off against her mounting debts. The insistent warnings of Lopakhin, a peasant’s son turned wealthy businessman, go unheeded, and more than the family’s estate is on the block; in the words of Trofimov, the ‘eternal studen’ who hopes to inherit the future, ‘the whole of Russia is our orchard’. Chekhov’s last play is a poignant snapshot of the great, slow-rolling change that came to a head with the Russian revolution in 1917.
Directed by Emma Spurgin Hussey and designed by Jackie Moule. Early booking recommended!
