Dried Cherries: A Sequel to The Cherry Orchard

An absolute scream! (While also tackling some big topics.) If you have a classical theatre, add this to your season. It's Chekhov with guest appearances by some of Shakespeare's clowns! This play is filled with so many delightful references. It absolutely tickled me, and I think it would bring both guffaws of laughter and thoughtful appreciation from classical theatre fans.

This wonderful script, a sequel to "The Cherry Orchard," captures the heart and soul of both Chekhov and his masterwork. Schwartz is particularly adept at capturing the deeply layered Chekhovian humor, and goes one further by lacing it with a surprisingly effective dose of Shakespearean tomfoolery, and the overall effect is dazzling while remaining true to the spirit of the original.
