The Cherry Orchard
Anton Chekhov’s last, and funniest, play focuses on a once wealthy and renowned family as they foolishly cling to the past and to their ailing country estate.
Set in 1905 Russia, the poor are starving and the newly minted middle class struggle to carve out their own lot – all while the students whisper about revolution. Amidst he political and social unrest, there are some who just go on eating, drinking, and dancing. This classic Chekhov’s comedy presents the decline of a once wealthy and renowned family trying to hang on to the position and privilege they once enjoyed.
