The Cherry Orchard
A new adaptation of the Chekhov classic
A new version of Anton Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard premieres in June at the Chippen Street Theatre.
Chekhov’s final play about a family on the edge of ruin and a country on the brink of revolution is reimagined for 2019.
Heartbroken and bankrupt, Lyubov Andreyevna returns to her family farm, only to find it on the brink of bankruptcy. She is offered an easy way out: sell the property and live comfortably on the profits. Can she let go of the past in order to secure a future for her family?
Adapted and directed by Victor Kalka, this version reframes the story through a 2019 sensibility, blowing the
cobwebs off the comedy.
Presented by the new indie theatre company Virginia Plain, The Cherry Orchard will play for a strictly limited season at the Chippen Street Theatre, from the 6th – 15th June

awesome..much enjoyed by my partner and I
Loved the intimacy of the venue as it lent itself very well to the subject matter.
Great evening and location
Very good cast
Good adaptation of Chekhov’s work. Well cast with some excellent performances. Sound and lighting were on form. A good, small theatre would return anytime.
Very good. Well act
Play was well supported. Chippen Street Theatre is coming along nicely.
Suzann James is terrific in the lead role of this humorous play. Really enjoyed the whole play in such an intimate setting.
Fantastic
