by Anton Chekhov (adapted by Jo Clifford)

 Aug 10-14, 17-21 & 24-28  at 7.30pm

(2hrs 30mins with interval)

AND at Brunton Theatre, Musseburgh, 3rd Sep >

To think that Chekhov is all gloom, doom and hopelessness is completely wrong.

Our two hour evening of theatrical joy is highly recommended to all!

The Cherry Orchard bubbles with laughter and optimism scene after scene. What is sad is that it proved to be Chekhov’s last play before he died in 1904 at the age of only 42.

This family production is enhanced by live, original music composed by Richard Cherns (sometime of Runrig), and a new script.

The story, as a portent of coming and irrevocable change in Russian society, has been brilliantly adapted from the original by the celebrated Scottish playwright, Jo Clifford.  Read Jo's Blog entry about writing this adaptation
