Cherry ka Bagicha

A Hindi version of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. For this production, Schechner worked closely with the professional actors of the Repertory Theatre of India’s National School of Drama. The environmental setting — a complete small house and a surrounding grove of small trees – was designed by Nissar Allana working closely with Schechner. The production took place inside the house which was microphoned, in the orchard, behind the theatre in a yard ringed with lights for the party in the third act. Spectators followed the action from locale to locale.
