Cherry Orchard, The

Cherry Orchard, The
Written in 1904, the Cherry Orchard presaged the waning influence of the Russian aristocracy and the social upheaval that reverberated throughout the country a decade later. Chekhov's elegy chronicles Madame Ranevskaya's futile attempt to save her ancestral estate and its beloved cherry orchard. After five years abroad, she returns to the Russian countryside, and finds a tidal wave of change enveloping her homeland. Carol Rocamora's new adaptation mines the heartbreaking humor and sensitive humanity of Chekhov's play

Krechinsky Muromsky Tarelkin

Synopsis:
A neglected masterpiece of 19th Century Russian literature, this trilogy (boiled down into one evening) is a satirical portrait of human greed, personal pettiness, and the intractable corruption and incompetence of every bureaucratic system. the three parts, written while the author was himself in prison, veer from a satire of drawing-room meloDrama to out-and-out expressionism, featuring a gallery of eccentric characters.
