Reviews for The Cherry Orchard:
****
The Guardian
“Fresh, funny and touching”
The Daily Telegraph
[Josie Lawrence] “radiates a luminous mature beauty and a wayward spoilt quality that swirls from real sorrow to playful flirtatiousness, back to self-pity.”
The Times
“Everything about Lawrence is striking – her appearance, her presence, her ability to command the stage.”
The Stage
“Subtle and sympathetic performances combined with direction which can only be described as near-perfect.”
The Public Reviews
“Succeeds in bringing out the irony and humour of Chekhov.”

The Cherry Orchard – Until Saturday November 6, 2010
Russia at the turn of the 20th century. Madame Ranevskaya, a once wealthy landowner returns home almost impoverished after five years abroad.
Her vast and beautiful cherry orchard is to be sold off against her crippling debts. Struggling with the uncomfortable reality of the present, Ranevskaya ignores the insistent warnings and advice of Lopakhin, a peasant’s son turned wealthy businessman, and instead seeks solace in the past.
But more than the family estate is at risk in the shifting world Ranevskaya finds at home. In the words of Trofimov the eternal student who hopes to inherit the future, “the whole of Russia is our orchard”.
