Presse : "Though it stars that fine actress Diane Lane, is staged by the rising British director Simon Godwin and features a new adaptation by the seriously gifted young dramatist Stephen Karam ('The Humans'), this frenzied, flashy take on one family’s mortgage crisis may be the most clueless interpretation of Chekhov I have seen. And, yes, that includes high school, college and community theater productions." Ben Brantley for New York Times

"Pretty much everything falls flat in the case of the vapid new Broadway revival of Anton Chekhov’s classic tragicomedy about a family on the edge of collapse." Joe Dziemianowicz for New York Daily News

"In the end, by stylizing Chekhov's world and rendering cultural details abstractly, the human stakes and basic relationships are drained of power. The Cherry Orchard is still an odd play and can survive harder ax blows, but this attempt is just so much peeled bark." David Cote for Time Out New York

"Only Donald Holder's muted lighting strikes a tone that consistently makes sense, bringing surges of warmth, expressive feeling and straining vitality. Those qualities are called for in the drama but seldom summoned in this dull, misconceived production." David Rooney for Hollywood Reporter

"Diane Lane takes her shot in the Roundabout Theater Company’s Broadway revival of Chekhov’s most beloved play — and proves to be engaging, if not remarkable. Not that anyone really has a chance to shine in director Simon Godwin’s shapeless production." Marilyn Stasio for Variety
