Crenshaw Yeo. Act 4. Space. Tom Stoppard's translation, Page 77

Varya: That's strange, I just can't seem to find...

Lopakhin: What are you looking for?

Varya: I packed it myself, and I've forgotten where I...

(pause)

Lopakhin: What are you plans now, Varvara Mikhailovna?

Varya: Me? I'm going to the Ragulins. I've agreed to look after things for them, be their housekeeper, I suppose.

The Cherry Orchard Act 1 Scene 1 Cristóbal Meza Alonso. Only one note. When the window gets opened there’s a great view of the city market that the camera can’t record but in person, you can see it. I have pictures of the view that the public gets.

Daniel Gosset - Act 4 “One last look round at the walls”.

🍒Sergio - is the cherry orchard sold? yes, it is. act 3 finale

Space Week 1 Joshua Waterstone, Stoppard's Translation. Act 1.1 Stoppard's translation p. 14 (from the exit of Anya and Varya), p.14 Yasha and Dunyasha scene till Varya re-enters.

VIEWING NOTES:

This is imagined as a hyper drama where the audience changes locations when beckoned by actors.

Beginning-The dialogue at the start in black would be as Anya and Varya leave the current space and reveal this window to the outside.

The ending- After the window scene, Varya would re-enter and beckon the audience to the next room revealing a broken saucer and Yasha and Dunyasha as they look into the doorway that Varya opens and then would follow Varya into the rest of the scene.
