The Cherry Orchard

Ian Rickson and Kristin Scott Thomas reunite to bring another Chekhov classic to the stage, with Scott Thomas having previously played Arkadian in Rickson's acclaimed production of The Seagull which ran both in London and on Broadway; a role for which Kristin won the Olivier Award for Best Actress.

Kristin has most recently won the inaugural Leading Light Award at the Women's Prize for Playwriting ceremony, which took place earlier this year. The award recognises the lifetime achievement by a woman in the arts with an “enduring influence, a distinguished body of work and an outstanding contribution to culture”. Other award wins and nominations include: a BAFTA and Evening Standard British Film Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Four Weddings and a Funeral, a BAFTA nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Darkest Hour, and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for The English Patient.
