See behind the scenes rehearsal photos of Kristin Scott Thomas and Stephen Mangan in The Cherry Orchard at the Harold Pinter Theatre, in Ian Rickson’s new production of Chekhov’s final masterpiece.

Rehearsal photos for The Cherry Orchard have been released showing BAFTA and Olivier Award-winner Kristin Scott Thomas (Four Weddings and a Funeral) leading the cast as Lyubov Ranevskaya, alongside Stephen Mangan (Episodes) as Lopakhin.

Chekhov collaborators reunited

The production marks several notable reunions: Stephen Mangan returns to work with Ian Rickson for the first time since Pinter’s The Birthday Party in 2018, while Kristin Scott Thomas reunites with Rickson after her Olivier Award-winning turn as Arkadina in his acclaimed production of The Seagull, which played both London and Broadway.

Rickson, meanwhile, returns to Conor McPherson’s writing, having previously collaborated with him on the celebrated 1997 production of The Weir and on Uncle Vanya in 2020.
