About “The Cherry Orchard”:

The cherry orchard will be sold to pay its owner’s debts. Can the characters agree on a way to save it? As the auction nears, former serfs debate with aristocrats to ponder and plan for a future they cannot clearly envision, but one that fills each of them with apprehension as they negotiate their conflicting thoughts and emotions surrounding creeping, unknowable change.

“The Cherry Orchard” was Chekhov’s final play. Written in the early 20th century and directed at the Moscow Art Theatre by Konstantin Stanislavski, it is widely considered a masterpiece of modern theatre.
