The 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.

About the Author

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), Russian physician, dramatist and author, is considered to be one of the greatest writers of short stories and modern drama. Born in Taganrog, a port town near the Black Sea, he attended medical school at Moscow University. He began writing to supplement his income, writing short humorous sketches of contemporary Russian life. A successful literary careered followed, before his premature death of TB at the age of 44. He is best-remembered for his four dramatic masterpieces: The Seagull (1896), Uncle Vanya (1899), Three Sisters (1901) and The Cherry Orchard (1904).

Benedict Andrews is an Australian poet, playwright, film-maker, and director of theatre and opera, now based in Reykjavík. Andrews has directed for theatres in both Australia and Europe. He is known for his versions of works by Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov, Jean Genet, and Tennessee Williams, as well as his stagings of contemporary writers such as David Harrower, Martin Crimp, Marius von Mayenburg, Caryl Churchill, and Sarah Kane. Andrews has been a regular guest at London's Young Vic, Sydney Theatre Company (STC), and Belvoir St Theatre in Sydney, the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz in Berlin, and the National Theatre of Iceland in Reykjavik. His feature film Seberg —starring Kristen Stewart as Jean Seberg — had its world premiere at the 76th Venice International Film Festival, in August 2019.
