The Cherry Orchard (Donaghy)
by Tom Donaghy, Anton Chekhov
Synopsis
“Tom Donaghy has written a new adaptation of THE CHERRY ORCHARD that feels, at times, like an altogether new play: He propels Ronald Meyer’s translation into modern vernacular….
Donaghy does capture the play’s comedy and, paradoxically, its existential despair.”
-Jeremy McCarter, New York.
“A swift, modern adaptation by Tom Donaghy…a distinctly comic and American emphasis.”
-Adam Feldman, Time Out “Chekhov famously preferred to think of his plays as comedies.
Playwright Tom Donaghy honors that fact with a light-on-its feet adaptation….
Mostly, his fluid dialogue manages to lend a pleasing immediacy to the story….”
-Gordon Cox, Newsday
