The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov

Date: Saturday 3rd September.
Venue: Brunton Theatre Musselburgh, Ladywell Way, Musselburgh,

After ten years abroad, Mme Ranyevskaya returns home more or less bankrupt. She and her brother snub the lucrative scheme of Lopakhin, a peasant turned entrepreneur, to save the ancestral estate from being sold by the bank at auction. In so doing, they seal the fate of their beloved orchard and all it represents. The Cherry Orchard captures a poignant moment in Russia's history as the country rolls unavoidably towards the 1917 Revolution. With a new script adapted by Scottish playwright Jo Clifford and live, original music composed by Richard Cherns (ex Runrig), this production challenges any prejudices that Chekhov is full of doom and gloom, as it bubbles with laughter and optimism throughout.
Artistic Director: Charles Nowosielski. Recommended for ages 12 plus.
BOOKING: Please download and send your booking form & cheque to: Mrs B. Nowosielska – Conboy, 71 Charterhall Grove, Edinburgh EH9 3HT. Cheques payable to the Scottish Polish Cultural Association. Book early as Mrs Conboy cannot book the tickets until she has a number of people going confirmed.
