The Orchard
Living Pictures presents The Orchard, an intimate, script-in-hand reading of a new play.
The Orchard examines our ties to the earth as resource, refuge and real estate, and speaks to the resurgence of a pre-revolutionary pessimism, asking what needs to die for new systems to be born. It follows a dysfunctional family on their ailing apple orchard over two hot nights one summer, as they take stock of their lives and the land they depend on.
Taking the plays of Anton Chekhov as a starting point, Living Pictures and the acting company devised the piece to give focus to the minutiae of relationships gone to seed.

About
Living Pictures is a sector-leading theatre training organisation that focuses on providing creative and professional development for theatre makers less represented in the arts. It was founded in 1999 by Elen and Robbie Bowman to provide training in Active Analysis and Meisner technique for directors and actors. In 2014, the organisation acquired a piece of land in Wales where it is now primarily based, which marked a shift in the organisation’s focus towards environmental and community initiatives, retreats alongside professional theatre training and stage productions.
