Set in the early part of 20th century Russia, Chekhov's classic comedy, The Cherry Orchard, is the story of the tragic-comic events that take place in the household of Lyuba Ranevskaya. The descendents of an old aristocratic family, Lyuba and her brother Gaev cannot come to terms with the social and economic changes surging around them. When the money runs out, Lyuba is forced to return from Paris to Russia. It quickly becomes clear that the old estate must be sold, and the family itself begins to disintegrate, each member desperate either for drastic change, or to cling to life as they know it. The Cherry Orchard was Chekhov's final play. It reflects a collection of events from his own life, and perhaps because it was his last play, he captures in humorous, bittersweet empathy a family's struggle with fading dreams against a backdrop of a growing revolutionary machine.
