The award-winning team that brought you the Huntington's acclaimed 2001 production of Hedda Gabler returns with Chekhov's final masterpiece in a new translation by Tony Award-winner Richard Nelson (writer and director of James Joyce's The Dead). Nicholas Martin directs and Kate Burton (Hedda Gabler, "Grey's Anatomy") stars as Madame Ranevskaya, the irresponsible but hopeful soul who returns from Paris to Russia to find her family's estate on the auction block. Fading memories of past glory haunt the family as they await a miracle that never comes. The Cherry Orchard is one of the most heartrending comedies ever written — a story you'll never forget.
"Kate Burton talks the talk better than any American actress of her generation!" — The New York Times
