The Cherry Orchard

About the show

Indebted landowner Lyubov Ranevskaya returns to her family estate, where Lopakhin proposes cutting down the celebrated cherry orchard and developing the land to pay the mortgage. Ranevskaya and her brother Gayev fail to act, and Lopakhin buys the estate at auction. As the family departs, the elderly servant Firs is accidentally left behind in the empty house while axes are heard cutting the orchard.
