In this aristocracy chiding play, Chekhov shows a wealthy family auctioning off their cherry orchard estate in order to avoid bankruptcy. Somewhere between a comedy and a tragedy, the play shows the almost laughable inability for the family to act productively on their estate's behalf, and who comes to possess the estate is surprising.
