Sinead Cusack, Anna Massey, Patricia Routledge, Andrew Sachs, and Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies star in this 1974 BBC Radio Full-Cast production of Chekhov's classic play. (Translation by Richard Cottrell.)
Madame Ranyevskaya and her daughter Anya have returned home from Paris to discover that their family estate - which includes their beloved cherry orchard - has to be sold to cover the family's debts. They believe a miracle can save their orchard. But will their stubborn pride and fond, childhood memories be enough? Chekhov's tragic-comedy is about the passing of an era and is a timeless study of a Russian aristocratic family desperately clinging to the past. Among the star cast in this 1974 production are Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies, Sinead Cusack, Anna Massey, Patricia Routledge, and Andrew Sachs.
The Classic Radio Theatre series presents notable radio productions of much-loved plays by some of the most renowned playwrights and starring some of our finest actors.
