It’s early 20th-century Russia, and a new economic and social order has everyone in the Ranevskaya clan turned upside-down. When self-made millionaire Lopakhin reveals his plan to save the beloved family estate, Lyubov must decide what she values more: the estate itself, or her own delusions. Pepperdine’s Theatre Program presents The Cherry Orchard, the final masterpiece of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, in a crackling translation by English playwright Tom Stoppard.
This production will include the brief use of a stage prop firearm. Recommended for
13+.
A talk-back will follow the Wednesday performance.
