Representaion During Books The Cherry Orchard
Published to tie in with the world premiere at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin.In Chekhov's tragi-comedy - perhaps his most popular play - the Gayev family is torn by powerful forces, forces rooted deep in history, and in the society around them. Their estate is hopelessly in debt: urged to cut down their beautiful cherry orchard and sell the land for holiday cottages, they struggle to act decisively. Tom Murphy's fine vernacular version allows us to re-imagine the events of the play in the last days of Anglo-Irish colonialism. It gives this great play vivid new life within our own history and social consciousness.

The Cherry Orchard is subtitled Comedy in Four Acts, but the comedy is subtle, partly because Chekhov delivers the drama through naturalistic dialogue, reading it are pages and pages of characters stressing and worry. And as they complain and have, what seems like, the most mundane exchanges, the farcical can easily be missed. These moments were randomly scattered through the play, giving a comical accent to the heavy tone of the play.Reading it, Chekhov made me see the absurdity of this tragicComedy in four acts is not the way I'd describe a society flying apart at the seams. I guess the line between tragedy and comedy is razor thin in places. Listening to Tchaikovsky did not help though I often find music to be a more obvious representation of emotions. Set post Emancipation and pre-revolution in Russia, a spectrum of viewpoints from the characters, a time capsule. Each so sure of their understanding, those in denial and those pushing towards what will be. Overall, a closing window.
This play was an enjoyable read for me. It is about a once aristocratic family, now impoverished and forced to sell everything, including their beautiful cherry orchard, that seemed to be the main thing they cared about, the reason of their pride. Even though they were about to lose everything they owned, they were in some sort of denial because they didn't (or couldn't) do anything to solve that situation. And while this family was in decline, a new kind of rich people arose: the once serfs

Вишнёвый сад = Vishnevyi sad = The Cherry Orchard, Anton ChekhovThe play concerns an aristocratic Russian landowner who returns to her family estate (which includes a large and well-known cherry orchard) just before it is auctioned to pay the mortgage. Unresponsive to offers to save the estate, she allows its sale to the son of a former serf; the family leaves to the sound of the cherry orchard being cut down. The story presents themes of cultural futility both the futile attempts of the

In early 19th century, many (European, British) aristocratic families started to see the changes in the world directly impacting their household. Rich people were now self made, laborers preferred factories and mills, and everyday things became a little more expensive. The time this little story is set is when political and cultural changes were rampant in Russia. The landowner's ancestral estate is in shambles with its pretty cherry orchard and grand house. Its buyer is a self made man, a serf,
