BAFTA and Olivier Award-winning actor Kristin Scott Thomas (Electra, Slow Horses, Four Weddings and a Funeral) and Stephen Mangan (The Split, Episodes, The Birthday Party) will lead the cast as Lyubov and Lopakhin in this revival of Anton Chekhov's final masterpiece, adapted by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson (The Weir, Girl from the North Country, Uncle Vanya) and directed by Olivier and Tony Award-nominated director Ian Rickson (Uncle Vanya, Jerusalem, The Weir).

Written in 1903, The Cherry Orchard centres on the aristocratic Lyubov Ranevskaya, who comes home after a long spell abroad to find that the estate she grew up on, and the cherry orchard she loves, may not survive a world that is changing around her.

Scott Thomas and Mangan are joined in the cast by Ruby Bentall (Industry) as Sharlotta, Megan Cusack (Playboy of the Western World) as Dunyasha, Karl Johnson (King Lear) as Firs, Noof Ousellam (Macbeth) as Yasha, Nadia Parkes (Kidnapped) as Anya, Jack Riddiford (Stereophonic) as Trofimov, Vinette Robinson (Emilia) as Varya, Shubham Saraf (An Enemy of the People) as Yepikhodov and Peter Wight (Three Sisters) as Gaev.
