Résumé

From Janet Suzman, this is a new version from Janet Suzman for the stage and a take on a Chekhov classic play.

The Free State Résumé

The Free State: A South African Response to Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard Janet Suzman

This powerful version of Chekhovs famous drama reflects the South African phenomenon of the 1990s. With the hindsight of the new millennium we can look back and see that the miracle did happen. The new order did take over from the old. The fruitless cherry orchard was chopped down. The old men who couldn't move with the times have been left behind and forgotten. Chekhov's great pre-revolutionary drama, dreaming of youthful energy replacing the worn-out inertia of a dying world, lends itself vividly to this new setting in post-revolutionary South Africa.

The Free State Avis

A piece of extraordinary freshness and political urgency. * Daily Telegraph *
In terms of contemporary political drama, there is nothing to touch it. * The Independent *
It is difficult to imagine a relocation which works as comprehensively as this. * The Financial Times *
Suzman has given Chekhov's last great play a hard new dimension, public, moral and political - and her production proves that the play can bear it and be enriched in the process. * The Times *

À propos de Janet Suzman

Janet Suzman was born in Johannesburg, graduated from the University of Witwatersrand, trained at LAMDA, and joined the RSC for its inaugural season, the Wars of the Roses in 1962, where she stayed on and off for a decade playing many of the heroines and culminating in a memorable Cleopatra. She has since pursued a richly varied career in all manner of performance disciplines; among them The Singing Detective on TV and The Draughtsman's Contract on film. She has twice won The Evening Standard Best Actress Award (Chekhov and Fugard), had Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations (Nicholas and Alexandra), twice won The Liverpool Echo Best Production Award (Miller and Shakespeare), and also the TMA Best Production for her Cherry Orchard. The Johannesburg Othello - so named by Channel Four TV and aired in 1988 - was her directorial debut for The Market Theatre of which she is a founding Patron. She re-wrote and directed Brecht's Good Person of Setzuan to a local South African setting and has written a handbook on Shakespeare's comedies. She was appointed Dame of the British Empire for services to drama in 2011.
