The Cherry Tortured

Why see The Cherry Tortured?

Posner Reimagine's Checkhov

Set in a Russia where the old social orders are under threat, Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard ranks as one of the greatest plays ever written. A new reimagining of the classic, The Cherry Torturedcomes courtesy of playwright and director Aaron Posner (The Chosen), re-setting the play right here in Door County in modern times, taking a tongue-in-cheek, fun stance in freshening it up for the present day!

What is it About?

In scenic Door County, a family finds themselves at a breaking point. With their historic estate facing an uncertain future, they must choose between clinging to the ghosts of the past or embracing an unpredictable future. An irreverent reimagining of a classic masterpiece, Posner has a knack for successfully taking on Checkhov; his version of The Seagull has been produced over 200 times around the world.
