Academy Award® nominee Diane Lane (Trumbo) is Lyubov Ranevskaya, who returns with her family to their fabled orchard to forestall its foreclosure. The play captures a people—and a world—in transition, and presents us with a picture of humanity in all its glorious folly. By turns tragic and funny, The Cherry Orchard still stands as one of the great plays of the modern era. First produced in Moscow in 1904, Roundabout’s new adaptation promises to breathe fresh life into this towering tale.
