Poignant and wry, with a tapestry of rich characters
At the start of the twentieth century, as Russia rolls toward revolution, widowed Ranevskaya returns home after a decade abroad to discover that her estate and its cherry orchard are at risk of being sold. In Chekhov’s great classic, Ranevskaya and her family must confront their shifting fortunes in order to save their beloved orchard, or else they are doomed to lose it.
