The Orchard

Congratulations!

You’ve inherited a redundant cherry orchard, a crumbling climate, a failing economy, inept institutions and the final play written by Anton Chekhov. What will you salvage? How much are you willing to let go? How much will be taken from you?

Welcome to The Orchard, where doomed inheritances and impossible expectations collide. Choices must be made. Classics must be questioned. Wood must be chopped.

From the ‘frenetically uproarious’ (Time Out) collective renowned for their ‘meticulously practiced feat[s] of coordinated effort’ (The Skinny) such as Burnout Paradise and Grand Theft Theatre, witness Pony Cam as they attempt to adapt Chekhov’s classic for an increasingly demanding world – and transform everything we hold dear along with it.

There will be real indecision, real stories, a person in a tree costume, a lot of cling wrap and a chainsaw borrowed from a friend.

Will you survive the adaptation?
