Anton Chekhov 
Cherry Orchard 

The orchard’s white, all white. You haven’t forgotten, have you, Lyuba? The avenue lined with trees, unfurling like a slender ribbon. And on moonlit nights, it shimmers. You remember, don’t you? You haven’t forgotten?Can anyone persuade Ranevskaya and her aristocratic household that the world is changing, and they must too?Following internationally acclaimed productions of The Seagull (Belvoir St Theatre, Sydney) and Three Sisters (Young Vic, London), director Benedict Andrews has a reputation as one of the world’s leading interpreters of Chekhov. For the Donmar Warehouse he stages the great writer’s final play. It’s a work that predicted and captured the end of an era, but is timeless in its humanity, prescience, humour and pathos. The Cherry Orchard is Chekhov’s masterpiece.This edition was published to coincide with its world premiere at London’s Donmar Warehouse in April 2024.
