<p><strong>A fresh take on a classic by the Tony Award-winning playwright of <em>The Humans</em></strong></p> <p>"Mr. Karam's plays aren't tearful, but they are often about loss--of love, of health, of innocence--and the messy, haphazard, necessary ways we get on with our lives afterward... He specializes in painful comedies that really shouldn't be as funny as they are. Karam is a mature writer, very much in command of his gifts." --<em>New York Times</em></p> <p>"Stephen Karam is among the very best of his generation of playwrights." --<em>New York Magazine</em></p> <p>"The more you see Anton Chekhov's final play, the weirder it seems... <em>The Cherry Orchard </em>contains distinctly bizarre touches: unexplained offstage noises, ominous portents of revolution, and a morbid ending that's nearly Beckettian... Adapter Stephen Karam layers American accents (racial and immigration anxieties) into his lean, accessible script." --<em>Time Out New York</em></p> <p>Stephen Karam is known for his dedication to exploring the idiosyncrasies of human speech and behavior--the subtleties, the depth, and the won­derfully awkward minutiae. With this new adaptation of <em>The Cherry Orchard</em>, Chekhov's canonical masterpiece about a family on the brink of bankruptcy, Karam's fluid style pairs harmoniously with the work of the master playwright.</p> <p><strong>Stephen Karam</strong> is the author of two plays that were named finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama: <em>The Humans
