The Cherry Orchard

Madame Ranevskaya’s treasured country estate is threatened with foreclosure, thanks to wildly overdue bills and a family living beyond its means. As the family and servants fail to grasp the severity of their situation, the merchant Lopakhin offers them their only salvation: to sell the cherry orchard they so love. A story of family, class, and the painful progress of time, The Cherry Orchard is a classic brought to vivid life in Jean-Claude van Itallie’s translation.
