Notes
When entering the auditorium for this production, audience members could have been forgiven for thinking that they had set foot in a real cherry orchard: young trees were dotted about the seating area, while the floor was carpeted with leaves and bracken.
The following year, Zoe played the role of Anya again, when she took part in a production of The Cherry Orchard in Edinburgh. From May 2011, she will perform the play for a third time, as part of a production in London.
