The Orchard tonight
Posted by: beagleboy 10:23 pm EDT 06/21/22

I loved it. So odd and weird. I think Hecht is our greatest living stage actress. It was gorgeous. Last production of Cherry Orchard had such an ugly set, this was beautiful. Not sure if I got what they were trying to do, but I enjoyed it all. It's my favorite Chekhov play, so I guess I was predisposed to like it, but I didn't know what to expect. But I loved it.

I saw it last week and really enjoyed it too. Hecht really is one of the greatest. I'm doing the "online experience" next week as well, because I was told it is completely different than the show is live. Not sure how or what that means, but I guess I'll find out.

thanks

It is not a particularly large venue, 10-12 rows perhaps. I was in row F, dead center and that was far enough back to take in all of the visuals/projections. I wouldn’t sit too close.

Seating is bench-style with backing. 3 people per cushioned bench so you many be THISCLOSE to a stranger.

I saw it last week and enjoyed it, maybe a bit less than you…but overall I was won over. I, too, love Hecht and will see her in ANYTHING.

Were there programs available at the theatre? None when I attended and I’m hoping to get my hands on one. Thanks.

I'm a fan too. Did either of you see her Blanche DuBois at Williamstown a few years ago? She was so good, as was that Cromer-directed production and Sam Rockwell's Stanley. An off-beat choice, but he pulled it off.

Sadly, I did not. Rockwell is great to watch, I can see him pulling it off. He’s the highlight of the current American Buffalo.
