Written by Anton Chekhov New Adaptation by Andrew Upton
Working from a new translation by Andrew Upton, the National Theatre of London presents
a haunting new production of Anton Chekhov's immortal classic about Russia's fading
aristocracy. Ranyevskaya returns more or less bankrupt after ten years abroad. Luxuriating in
her fading moneyed world and regardless of the increasingly hostile forces outside, she and her
brother snub the lucrative scheme of Lopakhin, a peasant turned entrepreneur, to save the
family estate. In so doing, they put up their lives to auction and seal the fate of the beloved
orchard. Set at the very start of the twentieth century, The Cherry Orchard captures a poignant
moment in Russia's history as the country rolls inexorably towards 1917. 2.5 hours w/intermission
