The Cherry Orchard

{TITLE}The Cherry Orchard{/TITLE}

{DESCLONG}BY ANTON CHEKHOV, IN A VERSION BY BENEDICT ANDREWS

Anton Chekhov’s timeless masterpiece The Cherry Orchard comes to Enschede in a fresh new version by acclaimed Australian playwright and director Benedict Andrews, brought to life by Student Theatre Association NEST.

Blending humour, warmth, and sharp observation, this adaptation reimagines the classic for contemporary audiences while staying true to its original heart and structure. Familiar themes of change, loss, and identity are given a modern resonance, making the story feel as immediate as ever.

As an aristocratic family faces the decline of their world, they must confront the tension between holding on and letting go. With wit and emotional depth, The Cherry Orchard explores what happens when personal lives collide with unstoppable societal change.

Will Ranevskaya and her household adapt in time, or be left behind as the world moves forward?

Carrie is een eenzame tiener wiens grootste droom is om erbij te horen. Op school wordt ze gepest, wat een hoogtepunt bereikt als ze ongesteld wordt tijdens het douchen na gym.

Burnt Sugar

{DESCLONG}

TheatreLab presents: Burnt Sugar.

A story of holding on and letting go; of the ones we love and the ones we don’t.
When Kenna returns from a long stay in the hospital, she is met with a whirlwind of eccentric relatives. Her “welcome back” party quickly turns sour when Kenna reveals the unpleasant truth.
Her brother Oscar refuses to grapple with this cruel new reality and decides to make a gamble. The already flawed family threatens to unravel; a surge of old feuds, careless gossip, petty squabbles, and the construction of a house of cards.

After last year’s “The Worst One Yet” and “Fresh Start: A Space Show”, Theatrelab returns with an all new attempt at teetering the line between mystical absurdity, and grounded sincerity.
Theatrelab – a tight knit bunch of students led by Julia de Klerk and Jasper Kolnaar– are excited to show the result of a year’s worth of toil, sweat, and unhinged creativity.
