The Cherry Orchard by Chekov

When Rebecca was in London, she stayed with an old friend in Marlebone.

They compared notes on theatre they had been seeing.

Both had seen Fela, King Lear and another production, all from the National Theatre in London.  Rebecca's friend had seen them live; Rebecca had seen them in HD in her local theatre.  How cool is that!

Now a new show is coming June 30:  The Cherry Orchard by Chekov, hopefully to a theatre near you.

In the Guardian, Michael Billington reviews The Cherry Orchard, a little more acerbically than I would have wished, but that will not put me off going to see it since he also says "it is highly intelligent and richly detailed".

The fun never stops!
