The Cherry Orchard

Cast: Kristin Scott Thomas, Stephen Mangan

Kristin Scott Thomas is hypnotic in a riveting Cherry Orchard, alongside an absolutely storming career best from Stephen Mangan. The production is a gripping new take on Anton Chekhov’s poignant and piercing tragicomedy about a family on the brink of irreversible change. When Lyubov Ranevskaya returns to her childhood estate after years abroad, she finds her family home and beloved cherry orchard under threat. As old loyalties falter and new ambitions rise, a world of privilege begins to crumble. Can Lyubov embrace the future, or will the pull of memory prove impossible to escape? The production features glorious performances across the board and is directed by Ian Rickson, with a new translation by Conor McPherson.
