<p>Sarena Parmar's <i>The Orchard (After Chekhov)</i> is an adaptation of Chekhov's <i>The Cherry Orchard,</i> told through the lens of a Punjabi-Sikh family in the Okanagan Valley. With the bank calling and money low, will the Basrans be able to save their beloved orchard? <i>The Orchard</i> challenges our idea of what rural Canada looked and sounded like in the 1970s, offering a fresh perspective on our history, and a subversive look at ethnicity within the classical western canon. Inspired by the playwright's own childhood, this fresh adaptation confronts life, loss, and the Canadian immigrant experience with humour and beauty. <i>The Orchard (After Chekhov)</i> premiered at the Shaw Festival.</p>
