The Cherry Orchard starring Nina Hoss & Adeel Akhtar to open in New York

The Donmar Warehouse’s acclaimed production of The Cherry Orchard will transfer to New York in March 2025.

Written and directed by Benedict Andrews, this fresh adaptation of Chekhov’s classic masterpiece will play a limited run at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn from 26 March to 20 April 2025, following its sell-out, five-star run at the Donmar Warehouse in London.

Nina Hoss (Homeland, Jack Ryan) and Adeel Akhtar (The Night Manager, The Dictator) will reprise their roles from the London production, bringing back the powerful performances that had critics raving. TimeOut described it as “an endlessly imaginative, boundlessly yearning revival… you wish it would last forever.” The Evening Standard praised Andrews’s work as “revelatory” and “utterly captivating,” highlighting his ability to balance “the play’s poles of tragedy and comedy with devastating accuracy.” The Guardian also celebrated Hoss and Akhtar’s performances as “tremendous,” commending Andrews for bringing “Chekhov bang up to date” with a “bold, brilliant distillation” of the classic.
