BY ANTON CHEKHOV,
ADAPTED BY DAVID MAMET

26 APRIL – 28 MAY

“The Orchard will either be sold or not sold. The causes of it are long in the past.”

An aristocratic family, on the brink of financial ruin, must come to terms with the sale of their land to an upstart developer and the loss of their beloved cherry orchard, the finest in the district.

For Lyubov Ranevskaya, her brother, her daughters and their servants, losing the property will mean the end of a way of life which no longer holds any joy but to which they still desperately cling.

Chekhov’s masterful tragicomedy, rich in observation of human nature, is a powerful study of our relationship to time and place.

In David Mamet’s bold adaptation, characterised by his distinctive sardonic tone, edgy rapid-fire dialogue and manipulative characters, we come to see the play in new and surprising ways: as an audacious exposition of frustrated sexuality.

In this world, no one is happy in love or life and in the end, as the axe falls, reality bites for all concerned. +PRESS +PICS
