A new durational role-playing game by Pop Up Playground for Flooding in the Garden At The Convent.
Lots of debts, lots of secrets, nothing left to sell but the family home – life was terrible for the Russian aristocracy.
Pop Up Playground took Anton Chekov’s famous play, The Cherry Orchard, and turned it into a participatory event: Now Life In This House. The characters from the play came to life around the audience and enlist their help. Will you help Lopakhin convince the family to sell their land to developers? Will you convince Trofimov not to marry Anya?
The future of The Cherry Orchard is in your hands…
Now Life In This House
