THE CHERRY ORCHARD

Adapted by Adriane Daff & Katherine Tonkin after Chekhov

Not a single slice of salami has been spared in this immersive theatrical experience. Audiences will traverse the Sunset Heritage Precinct from the grand hall to the gumtrees and onto a party in the courtyard, equipped with its very own vodka bar.

This premium cheese platter of self-absorbed characters will have you at once wishing for the glorious blooming days of the 1980s and shrinking at the familiarity of it.

Moy drug,

It’s a family emergency. Rani’s losing the plot. Literally. The Balmoral apartment’s been sold, and the St Kilda fling’s cactus. Anya’s dragged her mum across the Nullarbor back to Manjimup.

With BBQs firing and champagne flowing the debts are starting to mount. It’s a total clusterf@%k, pardon my French. The estate’s gonna have to be auctioned.

With Love

Our hospitality partner Crafted Events have created an bespoke Russian-inspired menu to add to your experience at The Cherry Orchard.

Enjoy a plate of salmon gravlax blinis, or potato & gruyere pierogi with a glass of Vasse Felix wine or, if you're brave, a shot of vodka served at minus 18 degrees and neat

Food will be served at interval and can be ordered at the pre-show bar or during interval.
