The Leonard Lopate Show | Oct 31, 2016

Diane Lane, Chuck Cooper, and John Glover are starring in Anton Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” on Broadway. The play tells the story of Lyubov Ranevskaya (Lane) and her family’s return to their orchard in an effort to forestall its foreclosure. First produced in Moscow in 1904, the play captures a people, and a world, in transition.

"The Cherry Orchard" runs through December 4th at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd Street). For tickets and show information, visit the Roundabout Theatre Company.
