The Cherry Orchard
A family returns home as its beloved estate faces auction.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The story
Lyubov Ranevskaya returns to her Russian estate after years abroad and finds the property burdened by debt. Lopakhin, a wealthy merchant whose father was once tied to the estate, proposes saving it by cutting down the cherry orchard and leasing the land, but the family struggles to act as their old way of life disappears.
In the room
Chekhov's play places comedy, grief and social change side by side, following an ensemble whose conversations and missed decisions reveal a class order already giving way.
Good fit if you like
ensemble tragicomedy, fading aristocracies, family estates and social change shown through ordinary conversation.
