Synopsis
Inspired by experiences in Chekhov's own life, Cherry Orchard follows life of an aristocratic Russian woman and her family as they return to the family's estate. Written as a comedy and containing elements of farce, Stanislavski directed the play as a tragedy in Moscow. Since this initial production, many prominent directors of the world continue to stage this play, each interpreting the work differently.

Review
"What a marvellous play this is, irresistibly funny yet piercingly sad..." Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph; "Samuel Adamson's vivid new version lucidly captures the slavic emotional and sexual turbulance... This is Chekhov cleverly revalued..." Nicholas de Jongh, Evening Standard"
