“In her exquisite production of “The Cherry Orchard’’ at Actors’ Shakespeare Project, director Melia Bensussen holds those moments up to the light, allowing us to contemplate human nature in all its contradictory essence and to consider the poignant spectacle of human beings striving, in their fitful and clumsy way, after happiness.”
—Don Aucoin, Boston Globe
