Coming this September: NorthEast Theatre Ensemble presents Anton Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard,” Newly translated by Dr. Krysta Dennis. The Cherry Orchard By Anton Chekov, translated by Dr. Krysta Dennis, directed by Suzanna Bornn Performances at 7:00 PM on September 5, 6, 12, & 13 and at 2:00 PM on September 6, 7, 13, & 14 In Chekhov’s final play, a once-wealthy family on the brink of total loss serves as a metaphor for the death of the aristocracy and the coming of a revolution. Ranevskaya Lyubov Andreevna returns to the ancestral country estate she is about to lose, deeply in debt. Refusing to confront the present head-on, Lyubov brushes off practical advice from friends and neighbors, spending the final days at her childhood home in willful reminiscence. Meanwhile, an auction looms over the estate, threatening the futures of the entire household and the once beautiful Cherry Orchard. Director Suzanna Bornn stages the "comedy" inside the historic barn at Mabee Farm, a reminder of the pastoral life Europe's elite romanticized in the 1700s 1800s and eventually lost as industry and revolution took the world by force.
