This modern-day translation of Anton Chekhov’s final masterpiece is lively, colloquial, and relevant. The Cherry Orchard is an exploration of love, loss, and societal transformation. As cherished memories collide with an uncertain future, this bittersweet drama with a dash of humor captures the universal human struggle between clinging to the past and embracing change.
By Anton Chekhov Translation by Paul Schmidt
THE CHERRY ORCHARD is presented through special arrangement with TRW PLAYS 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 640, New York, NY 10036. www.trwplays.com
