Oписание
It is the turn of the 20th century and Russia is changing rapidly - the serfs have been emancipated, a new middle class is arising and the aristocracy is struggling to come to terms with their reduced role in society.
Seeking to preserve a life of leisure and luxury, Madame Ranevsky must consider selling her estate, including her family´s precious cherry orchard. But when faced with these hard decisions, Ranevsky remains in denial.
Charting a period of tumultuous change, Chekhov creates a cast of tangible and unforgettаble characters whose destiny is both tragic and inevitаble. A touching masterpiece, The Cherry Orchard was Chekhov´s final play and perhaps his best.
