About

Kristin Scott Thomas returns to the West End in a gripping new production of THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Anton Chekhov’s poignant and piercing tragicomedy about a family on the brink of irreversible change.

Directed by Olivier and Tony Award nominee Ian Rickson (Uncle Vanya, Jerusalem, The Weir), in a new adaptation by Conor McPherson (The Weir, The Girl From The North Country), and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions (Leopoldstadt, Jerusalem, The Ferryman), Chekhov’s final masterpiece captures a world in delicate, inevitable transition – and remains as timeless and resonant as ever.

“Without the cherry orchard, life has no meaning to me” When Lyubov Ranevskaya (Kristin Scott Thomas) returns to her childhood estate after years abroad, she finds her family home and beloved cherry orchard under threat.

As old loyalties falter and new ambitions rise, a world of privilege begins to crumble. Can Lyubov embrace the future, or will the pull of memory prove impossible to escape?

Don’t miss this deeply moving portrait of love, loss and letting go…

The production is not able to guarantee the appearance of any specific actor due to illness or unforeseen circumstances.
