Picture
In homage to Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, this ensemble play examines the disappearing middle class in the swing state of Wisconsin. It’s the era of Tea Partiers, undocumented “Dreamers,” organic farming and fracking — and they all collide in a small community where being nice and rooting for the Packers are bond.  While the story backdrop is rife with harsh political realities, the singular story core is in the heart and humanity of the characters’ lives. The personal meets the partisan, community meets capitalism and local meets global at Breitwisch Farm.

“Esperance gang throw a lovely get together anchored by a top-notch classical performance.”
-Charles Quittner for Broadwayworld.com on Esperance’s Twelfth Night


“a spectacular production performed by artists who have a heartfelt and intelligent adoration of Shakespeare.”
-Wesley Doucette for TheAndyGram.com on Esperance’s Twelfth Night
