Sakura – September 17 to October 6, 2024 LiveEvents September 10, 2024 475 The Centaur Theatre presents Sakura – After Chekhov A nostalgia-filled comedy that re-imagines Chekhov for the 21st century, following a down-and-out family as they face the impending sale of their beloved orchard. Written by Harry Standjofski Directed by Eda Holmes With Deena Aziz, Ravyn R. Bekh, Stefanie Buxton, Marcel Jeannin, Marc-Antoine Kelertas, Howard Rosenstein, and Paul Van Dyck Based on Anton Chekhov’s masterpiece The Cherry Orchard, this is the story of an upper-class family who are forced to sell their estate, including a beloved orchard, to pay off debts that have accumulated from years of mismanagement and decadence. This witty comedy with a hint of nostalgia brings the richness of the Chekhovian original right into our own backyard along the Saint Lawrence River. Montreal playwright Harry Standjofski’s urgent and clever new adaptation of this timeless classic deftly captures the existential angst we all experience in the face of an uncertain future.
