The Cherry Orchard

'My life has no sense or meaning without this place.'

When Lyubov Ranevskaya returns to her childhood estate after years abroad, she finds her family home and beloved cherry orchard under threat.

As old loyalties falter and new ambitions rise, a world of privilege begins to crumble. Can Lyubov embrace the future, or will the pull of memory prove impossible to escape?

A deeply moving portrait of love, loss and letting go, Conor McPherson's poignant adaptation of Chekhov's masterpiece opened at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End in 2026, directed by Ian Rickson and starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Stephen Mangan.
