The Cherry Orchard
by Anton Chekhov, in a new version by Victor Kalka
“Rich storytelling with laughs and class in equal measure”
Chekhov’s final play about a family on the edge of ruin and a country on the brink of revolution is reimagined for 2019.
Heartbroken and bankrupt, Lyubov Andreyevna returns to her family farm, only to find it on the brink of foreclosure. She is offered an easy way out: sell the property to a neighbour and live comfortably on the profits. Can she let go of the past in order to secure a future for her family?
