Über dieses E-Book
Pembrokeshire, 1982. Things are going to change.
This radical reworking of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard places the action in early 80s Wales, at the dawn of another revolution – the Thatcher regime.
Bloumfield sits on the sun-kissed south Pembrokeshire coast; a rambling, ramschackle 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 Bloumfield. Rainey will have to face her ghosts - and her furious daughters - or lose everything.
This reworking of Chekhov's play was first performed at the Sherman Theatre, Cardiff.
