By Gary Owen.
Bloumfield sits on the sun-kissed south Pembrokeshire coast; a rambling, ramshackle old manor house where Rainey raised her children, surrounded by golden beaches and lush green orchards. But the death of her beloved son and husband sent Rainey fleeing to London, abandoning what remained of her family. Now, with the bank threatening to repossess, Rainey's daughters drag her back to Bloumfiled. Rainey will have to face her ghosts - and her furious daughters - or lose everything.
In this major new version of Chekhov's masterpiece Gary Owen relocates the action from Pre-Revolutionary Russia to another time on the cusp of huge social change - early 80s Pembrokeshire at the outset of Margaret Thatcher's regime.
The Cherry Orchard by Gary Owen received its world premiere at Sherman Theatre in October 2017.
