| Description |
The Cherry Orchard, by Anton Chekhov, is a funny and moving story set in provincial Russia. The old order is decaying, the new rich are getting rich, the young are dreaming of revolution and the peasants are enduring. Taste, refinement and cultivated indolence are crumbling under philistine materialism. This is Chekhov's crowning achievement; the greatest play of a great playwright and one of the great glories of European theatre. |
