Vinay Patel’s sci fi adaptation of The Cherry Orchard sees an old starship travel through space, in search of a planet to call home. Like their ancestors before them, the crew were born on this ship, and this voyage is all they’ve ever known.
And then… a planet is spotted. In a place they could actually live.
The crew are restless. The desire to find a home is strong.
But Captain Ramesh is adamant that they can’t leave the ship.
Something has to change.
Will they leap into a new future, or stay stuck on this journey forever?
Patel’s playful reimagining of Chekov’s classic play expertly blends humour, wit and romance to explore themes of family, belonging and home.
