“Builds a legacy of its own… the brilliance of Parmar’s adaptation is that she creates full, relatable, sympathetic characters who are up against challenges that extend far beyond their personal flaws.” – Toronto Star

“The Orchard (After Chekhov)… is simply extraordinary. But the real star of the show is the story itself. It’s heartwarming, funny and devastating at times, but mostly, it’s frighteningly familiar and relevant to the current political climate.” – Buffalo Theatre Guide

“Firmly crafted… Full of sinewy interconnections. The Orchard is confidently and assuredly a Canadian play — a mosaic of culture and attitude, remembrance and loss, with its own vivid sense of time and place.’ -Capital Critics Circle, Ottawa

“It brilliantly takes its own path… grapples with race, not just class, and with what losing land might mean in our (Canadian) context.” – Globe and Mail
