THE PLAY THE CHERRY ORCHARD
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chekhov's magnificent final play and one of the few undisputed masterpieces of the 20th century. The playwright declared it a comedy but some directors think otherwise. Adrian Noble's new RSC production stars Penelope Wilton, Alec McCowen and David Troughton.
A welcome outbreak of critical rapture. "I can remember few Cherry Orchards that have made me laugh so often or at times moved me so much" (The Times). "First-rate... pure Chekhov" (The Guardian). "The finest RSC production of anything for several seasons" (The Financial Times). "A triumphant night" (The Daily Telegraph).
