Anton Chekhov’s THE CHERRY ORCHARD

Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre presents THE CHERRY ORCHARD | By Anton Chekhov | Translated by Marina Brodskaya | Directed by Kelly Galvin | Anton Chekhov was a master whose daring work revolutionized theatre. In The Cherry Orchard, his last full-length play, an impoverished landowning family is unable to face the fact that their estate is about to be auctioned off. Lopakhin, a local merchant, presents numerous options to save it, including cutting down their prized cherry orchard. But the family is stricken with denial. The Cherry Orchard charts the precipitous descent of a wealthy family and in the process creates a bold meditation on social change and bourgeois materialism. | Please be advised that there will be no late seating for this production. All performances will begin at the scheduled curtain time.
