What's On
The Cherry Orchard
By Anton Chekhov
Vicky Jones Director
Tue 30 Mar - Sat 3 April
Still locked in grief, Madame Ranyevskaya returns from Paris to
her country estate for the first time since her young son drowned.
The cherry trees, the pride of the province, are in glorious
blossom but the estate is now neglected and mortgaged to the hilt.
Reveling in past glories and their extravagant lifestyle, the
family ignores all offers of help as the estate, including her
beloved cherry orchard, is sent to auction to pay off spiraling
debts.
One of the greatest plays of the twentieth century The Cherry
Orchard captures the sexual and emotional turbulence of a family
whose pride leaves them unable to adapt and is the most popular of
Chekhov’s great ‘comedies of life’. It remains as funny and
poignant today as when it was written.
