'Frayn's translation, which strikes me as splendidly lucid and
alive ...will be acted again and again' New Statesman In Chekhov's
tragi-comedy - perhaps his most popular play - the Gayev family is
torn by powerful forces deeply rooted in history and the society in
which they live. Their estate is hopelessly in debt: urged to cut
down their beautiful cherry orchard and sell the land for holiday
cottages, they struggle to act decisively. Originally published to
coincide with Peter Hall's National Theatre production in 1978,
this edition features the revised translation staged by Sam Mendes
at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in 1989, starring Judi Dench and
Ronald Pickup. Commentary and notes by Nick Worrall
