The Cherry Orchard
by Anton Chekhov edited by Trevor Griffiths

"Without pressing it, this Cherry Orchard, in a nimble new version by Tom Stoppard that invites fresh comic shadings, pushes that sense of the incongruous not so much into farce as into Alice in Wonderland absurdity [...] Mr. Stoppard’s adaptation is full of classically Stoppardesque instances of eloquence gone awry."

— The New York Times

"A sure-footed reworking by Tom Stoppard!"

— New York Magazine

"I can’t recall another production of The Cherry Orchard in which comedy and elegy were so well balanced [...] there was never a moment when I was anything other than enthralled."

— The Wall Street Journal

"[A] smart, economical adaptation…” —Deadline. “The more you see Anton Chekhov’s final play, the weirder it seems…THE CHERRY ORCHARD contains distinctly bizarre touches: unexplained offstage noises, ominous portents of revolution and a morbid ending that’s nearly Beckettian…adapter Stephen Karam layers American accents (racial and immigration anxieties) into his lean, accessible script.” —Time Out New York. “The brilliant Stephen Karam is among the very best of his generation of playwrights."

— New York Magazine

"Mike Poutlton's new translation gives the dialogue a contemporary edge."

— Alfred Hickling, The Guardian
