The Cherry Orchard

The cherry orchard on Lyubov Andreyevna’s family estate is the landscape of her heart, and she is overjoyed to return home. Yet she and her aristocratic relatives have become, like the orchard itself, elegant and purposeless holdovers from the past in a changing world. Lyubov Andreyevna fritters in her fortune, and bankruptcy looms, jeopardizing her beloved trees. Chekhov’s classic is a humorously ironic look at people who cannot–or will not–pay attention until it is too late.Each show in the Oregon Shakespeare festival performs in repertory. The Cherry Orchard will perform in rotation with the other shows in the season; please visit www.osfashland.org for a full schedule.
