Loss, reminiscence, and change
As for performances, some contain contradictions, which makes them compelling: Sinéad Cusack melds warmth, depth, and superficiality; Simon Russell Beale projects both dignity and a bit of crassness; Ethan Hawkes is sensitive and aggressive; Richard Easton turns in his usual minutely detailed characterization. All performances are of the highest caliber, and it’s a pleasure to see British and American actors performing so seamlessly together.

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – An eloquent look at themes like loss and regret is one reason a classic endures. For example, Chekhov could have been addressing the current economic climate when penning “The Cherry Orchard” in 1904. Indeed, his words about the shifting fortunes of an aristocracy in decline prove as timeless as ever.

With talk of reform everywhere, it’s an ideal moment to mount “The Cherry Orchard,” now in bloom at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Anton Chekhov’s last play is, after all, about the resistance to change. But this vibrant revival – the debut production by the Bridge Project linking American and English actors and theaters – has more going for it than good timing. There’s Sam Mendes’ astute direction, Tom Stoppard’s lucid translation, graceful designs and performances to match.
