What Is The Cherry Orchard About?
The Cherry Orchard captures a world in a delicate and inevitable transition. Chekhov’s play follows an aristocratic Russian family who return to their estate, known for its large cherry orchard, only to be crippled by debt and the likelihood that they will lose their home. Although it is a simplistic story, The Cherry Orchard encapsulates a world that is tilting towards revolution in the 20th century.
The History of The Cherry Orchard
Written in 1903, The Cherry Orchard was the last play written by Anton Chekhov. He is also known for publishing other outstanding plays like The Seagull, Three Sisters, and Uncle Vanya. It was first staged at the Moscow Art Theatre a year after it was published in 1904.
A plentiful number of productions of The Cherry Orchard have made it to the UK stage over the years, with the first in 1911 at the Aldwych Theatre. The most notable production starred Zoe Wanamaker at the National Theatre in 2011.
