After many years, a group of relatives come together in their now-aging \u2013 and mortgaged \u2013 home. Deep down, they all know that this is their last chance to feel the sense of familiarity that unites them, but also to say goodbye to everything that seems already to belong to the past even as they are experiencing it.<\/p>\n

Chekhov\u2019s last play, written just a few months before his death, speaks with painful insouciance about a carefree present that is suffocatingly squashed between a rose-tinted past and a tragically uncertain future. The owners of the cherry orchard, drowning in debt and delusion, refuse to accept that their estate is lost and that the dramatically changing world has passed them by. Like all the play\u2019s characters, more or less, they choose to cling to the light-heartedness of an eternal childhood, stubbornly postponing their adulthood.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
