Show Information
Pembrokeshire, 1982. Things are going to change.
Written shortly before the Russian Revolution, The Cherry Orchard is one of the greatest of all plays. Chekhov’s comedy captures a world on the brink of social upheaval. It is a witty, compassionate study of humanity’s flaws and our refusal to face what is right in front of us. Experience this masterpiece radically reimagined by one of the most powerful partnerships working in theatre today - Gary Owen and Rachel O’Riordan. This new version places the action in another time on the cusp of huge social change - early 80s Britain at the outset of Margaret Thatcher’s regime.
If you missed Killology, book as early as you can to secure your seats for what promises to be a major theatrical event.
‘Chekhov is one of the great playwrights. His ability to articulate human interaction, with all its flaws and misunderstandings, makes him a natural writer for Gary Owen to adapt.’ Rachel O’Riordan
