Grey’s Anatomy’s Kate Burton Perfoms in “The Cherry Orchard”

by Ingrid Diaz on November 17th, 2006

For those Kate Burton (a.k.a. Ellis Grey) fans, good news awaits! The talented actress who plays Meredith’s mother in our favorite show will be appearing in The Huntington Theatre’s production of The Cherry Orchard. The play will be running from January 5th through February 6th.

The award-winning team that brought you the Huntington’s acclaimed 2001 production of Hedda Gabler returns with Chekhov’s final masterpiece in a new translation by Richard Nelson. Nicholas Martin directs and Kate Burton stars as Madame Ranevsky, the irresponsible but hopeful soul who returns from Paris to Russia to find her family’s estate on the block at auction. Fading memories of past glory haunt the family as they await a miracle that never comes. The Cherry Orchard is one of the most heartbreaking comedies ever written—a story you’ll never forget.

So if anyone is or is planning to be around the Boston area, I’m sure this play will be worth checking out.
