The Cherry Orchard
By Anton Chekhov
Adapted by Jean-Claude van Itallie
Directed by John Miller-Stephany
October 3-13, 2019
Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre
One of the great plays of the 20th century, Chekhov’s final masterpiece captures a world and a family in transition. Faced with the sale of their cherished orchard, the Gayev family returns home in an attempt to preserve what they can of their family’s once great estate. This magnificent work combines the hope and absurdity of the human spirit. A stirring, touching piece of theatre you won’t soon forget.
