Description

The Cherry Orchard: A Savage Examination of Theatre and History In this bilingual edition, Guillermo Calderón's powerful play is presented in both its original Spanish and English translation. Set against the backdrop of Russia's impending revolution, Neva brings together three actors - including Anton Chekhov's widow, Olga Knipper - to rehearse scenes from The Cherry Orchard in a dimly-lit rehearsal room. The result is a haunting interrogation of the relationship between theatre and historical context. Calderón's work received its English-language premiere at The Public Theater in New York in 2013, directed by the author himself. A testament to his skill as a writer and director, Neva is a thought-provoking exploration of the power of art to shape our understanding of the world. Published in 2016, this edition offers a unique opportunity to engage with Calderón's work in both its original language and English translation.
