Description
The Cherry Orchard by Tom Stoppard and Chekhov is a bold meditation on social change and bourgeois materialism. In this, his last full-length play, Anton Chekhov presents an impoverished landowning family struggling to come to terms with the fact that their estate is about to be auctioned off. As they face the prospect of losing everything, the family's denial becomes increasingly desperate. Meanwhile, a local merchant offers them a way out - by cutting down their prized cherry orchard. But can they find a way to save what matters most? This poignant play charts the precipitous descent of a wealthy family and explores the consequences of their choices in a thought-provoking and powerful way.
