Sakura - Comedy

Based on Anton Chekhov’s masterpiece “The Cherry Orchard”, this is the story of an upper-class family who are forced to sell their estate, including a beloved orchard, to pay off debts that have accumulated from years of mismanagement and decadence. This witty comedy with a hint of nostalgia brings the richness of the Chekhovian original right into our own backyard along the Saint Lawrence River. Montreal playwright Harry Standjofski’s urgent and clever new adaptation of this timeless classic deftly captures the existential angst we all experience in the face of an uncertain future.
