The Cherry Orchard
Australian director Benedict Andrews’s 2012 Young Vic production of Chekhov’s ‘Three Sisters’ was a hugely inventive masterwork. Over a decade later he’s finally returning to wistful Russian titan Chekhov with a take on ‘The Cherry Orchard’ at The Donmar Warehouse as part of Michael Longhurst’s final season. With German star Nina Hoss – a regular in Berlin’s many prestigious theatres and acclaimed Brit actor Adeel Akhtar.

The Last Caravaggio
Caravaggio was the most dramatic of all Renaissance painters, both in his work and life. In his final years he produced his most dramatic works. This small, free display focuses on what is possibly his last painting, ‘The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula’ on loan from Italy, and it’s full of death, violence, blood and darkness.
