Lyubov Ranevskaya returns to her family’s estate after years abroad to find it burdened by debt and facing auction. The once-grand cherry orchard, central to her memories and identity, is at risk of being sold. As the family confronts financial ruin, shifting social structures and personal attachments complicate their ability to act, revealing tensions between nostalgia and the inevitability of change.

Directed by Ian Rickson (Uncle Vanya, Jerusalem, The Weir) and adapted by Conor McPherson (Girl from the North Country, The Weir), an Olivier Award-winning playwright. The production is mounted by Sonia Friedman Productions, known for works including Oedipus and Leopoldstadt.

Originally written by Anton Chekhov, the play examines a society in transition at the turn of the 20th century, where declining aristocracy and emerging social mobility reshape personal and economic realities.
