Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, in this unique
adaptation of one of the great masterpieces of the theater, allows
us to see Anton Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard" in totally new and
surprising ways. As Mamet explains in his introduction, he views
the play "as a series of scenes about sexuality and, particularly,
frustrated sexuality" rather than about a dying Russia. The result,
said 'The Sentinel, ' "blows a gust of fresh air into the old play"
while the Chicago Sun-Times called it "audacious and] consistently
arresting." "Mamet the adaptor has turned Chekhov's Cherry Orchard
into a Mamet play. Mamet's ear is famously impeccable, the dialogue
is always authentic and convincing . . . . This is a tribute to its
strong point of view and clear point of departure. If nothing else,
it will help to undermine our silly critical notions of
'definitive' Chekhov. Mamet has made me rethink the play." - Robert
Brustein, 'The New Republic'
