Stage Russia: The Cherry Orchard

From Stage Russia's 2017 season of live recordings of Russia's most renowned theatre companies, this is The Moscow Art Theatre's The Cherry Orchard.

"This centennial production of Anton Chekhov's classic tale of cultural futility, starring Russian stage and screen legend Renata Litvinova, is as relevant today as it was over a hundred years ago... Adolf Shapiro's interpretation asks the question, where would the characters of this play live today years after their cherry orchard has been cut down? The answer, which lies in the material world created by set designer, David Borovsky, is, of course, on the stage." (Stage Russia)
