Anton Chekhov was a Russian author known for his short stories and plays. The Cherry Orchard was his last play, made by the famed Moscow Art Theatre soon before his death in 1904. You may have discovered that Chekhov was a doctor. He started writing to encourage himself through medical school, also you may see the bedside way from his writing.

He is a guy who has seen a great deal, and thinks of people with a combination of affection and ridicule. You are certainly able to see this aspect of him in The Cherry Orchard, that portrays an aristocratic Russian family which loses their property because they can not cover the mortgage. It's a beautiful example of Chekhovian design: the combination of humor and tragedy, a type that avoids melodrama by putting the most fascinating events offstage, and also the comprehensive characterization which makes Chekhov an actor's dream.

Imagine there is a beautiful park on your area. It is owned by one household and walled away from everyone else. However, the family is nearly never there; the playground decays because they can not pay for its own maintenance.


You had your very first kiss there. A million moments which make you you happened there. Fast-forward a couple of decades and someone wishes to take this place away from you. Obliterate it. Maybe turn it into a parking lot or even a resort. No one could ever know that this particular area was there but you, and once you die, that is it. Can you fight for this?

These two situations play into The Cherry Orchard. This play is about the relentless march of time and also the way that people manage change. Some gain by it. Some go kicking and crying.
