The American Premiere of the Donmar Warehouse production of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard in a version written and directed by Benedict Andrews (March 26 - April 20, 2025) unites a number of artists who have crafted unforgettable theater at St. Ann’s through the years. Across the 2010s, the organization worked with the Donmar to bring to New York their visceral and virtuosic trilogy of all-female Shakespeare productions, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and featuring Dame Harriet Walter. In 2016, St. Ann's presented Benedict Andrews' raw, rotating vision of A Streetcar Named Desire (starring Gillian Anderson, Vanessa Kirby, and Ben Foster); his up-close, in-the-round Cherry Orchard “offers perfectly pitched comedy where other directors find somber tragedy” (The New York Times). The production stars Nina Hoss (Tár, Homeland), as Ranevskaya, returning to St. Ann’s following her unforgettable performance in the Schaubühne’s adaptation of Didier Eribon’s Returning to Reims, directed by Thomas Ostermeier; and BAFTA nominee and BAFTA Television Awards winner Adeel Akhtar as Lopakhin. Both were described as “tremendous” in a five-star Guardian review, while the Evening Standard, in another five-star review, called the production “revelatory… utterly captivating.” The Cherry Orchard at St Ann’s Warehouse coincides in part with Simon Stephens’ VANYA, starring Andrew Scott, at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, making for a heady season of fresh interpretations of Chekhov, starring beloved international actors, in New York.
