The Cherry Orchard

Please note that this production will be pre-recorded.

First produced in 1904 at The Moscow Art Theatre under the direction of Konstantin Stanislavsky, this production of Anton Chekhov’s classic tale of cultural futility, starring Russian stage and screen legend Renata Litvinova, is more relevant today than it was over a hundred years ago. Adolf Shapiro’s interpretation asks the question, where would the characters of this play live today years after their cherry orchard has been cut down? The answer, which lies in the material world created by set designer David Borovsky is, of course, on the stage. A century later, this production brings The Cherry Orchard full circle, with its wandering band of characters never at peace, but finally back home.

Runtime is approximate.

This film is part of the World Stage on Screen series.
