Coming October 18 - 27
The Cherry Orchard
by Anton Chekhov
Translated by Jean-Claude van Itallie
October 18 - 20 & 25 - 27 at Town Hall Theater
In Chekhov's delightful dramatic comedy - perhaps his most popular play - the Gayev family is torn by powerful forces, forces rooted deep in history, and in the society around them. Their estate is hopelessly in debt: urged to cut down their beautiful cherry orchard and sell the land for holiday cottages, they struggle to act decisively. Chekhov’s wonderfully vivid characters are full of humor and pathos as they attempt to find love, fulfillment and hope in the dying days of the Russian aristocracy. Translated by Jean-Claude van Itallie. Directed by Melissa Lourie.
