Anton Chekhov

A fresh take on a classic by the Tony Award-winning playwright of The Humans "Mr. Karam's plays aren't tearful, but they are often about loss--of love, of health, of innocence--and the messy, haphazard, necessary ways we get on with our lives afterward... He specializes in painful comedies that really shouldn't be as funny as they are. Karam is a mature writer, very much in command of his gifts." --New York Times "Stephen Karam is among the very best of his generation of playwrights." --New York Magazine "The more you see Anton Chekhov's final play, the weirder it seems... The Cherry Orchard contains distinctly bizarre touches: unexplained offstage noises, ominous portents of revolution, and a morbid ending that's nearly Beckettian... Adapter Stephen Karam layers American accents (racial and immigration anxieties) into his lean, accessible script." --Time Out New York Stephen Karam is known for his dedication to exploring the idiosyncrasies of human speech and behavior--the subtleties, the depth, and the won�derfully awkward minutiae. With this new adaptation of The Cherry Orchard, Chekhov's canonical masterpiece about a family on the brink of bankruptcy, Karam's fluid style pairs harmoniously with the work of the master playwright. Stephen Karamis the author of two plays that were named finalists for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama: The Humans in 2016 and Sons of the Prophet in 2012. The Humans won the 2016 Tony Award for Best Play. His other work includes the play Speech & Debate and a film adaptation of Chekhov's The Seagull for Sony Pictures Classics.

The Cherry Orchard

Society on the verge of a big change and all the different people in it. 100 yeas go by and nothing really changes.

Антон Чехов

«Комната, которая до сих пор называется детскою. Одна из дверей ведет в комнату Ани. Рассвет, скоро взойдет солнце. Уже май, цветут вишневые деревья, но в саду холодно, утренник. Окна в комнате закрыты.Входят Дуняша со свечой и Лопахин с книгой в руке...»

Laurence Senelick

Chekhov is a unique force in modern drama. His works have long been cherished for their brilliant wit and unusual ability to provide striking insights into the human condition. In these stunning, individually published translations of three of Chekhov's most popular and beloved plays, Laurence Senelick presents a fresh perspective on the master playwright and his groundbreaking dramas. This volume illuminates the timeless trials of art and love and bring Chekhov's memorable characters to life. Each of these three plays showcases the hallmark features of a Chekhov classic: clashing desires, complex family dynamics, the individual's loss of balance and sense of identity in the shifting eruptions of society and a modernizing Russia, and the angst of artistic struggle and ambition. Supplementing each of the plays are an account of Chekhov's life, a note on the translation, introductions to each work, and variant lines - often removed due to government censorship - which illuminate the context in which they were written and shed light on Chekhov's work as a playwright. These editions are the perfect guides to enriching our understanding of this great dramatist or to staging a production.

This is the first play I ever read, though I wasn't expecting it to be one (that's on me though). It was an amazingly written story about chance, how it affects lives and the unpredictability of it all. The socio-economic forces that were behind this play were fascinating; the rise of the middle class, the decline of the aristocracy's power, and abolishment of serfdom (especially the amazing scene with Lopakhin and the quote (view spoiler)["I've bought the estate where my grandfather and my father were slaves, where they weren't even allowed into the kitchen" (hide spoiler)] was so powerful). Definitely something I'd recommend!

I loved how it felt rushed in the end, it felt very much life like. But other than that... Another play from Chekhov I didn't enjoy much. It was just fine.

David Mamet

Mamet discusses the real theme of Chekhov's play and presents his own version of the story in which a Russian aristocratic family is forced to sell its estate to the son of a peasant

Dakota Gigout

Beautiful, captivating, stirring, emotional, and funny...Chekhov gives everything he writes its own personality. We see character in every word and the emotion of a plot successfully carried throughout the entire work.

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 adaptation with its Irish vernacular allows us to re-imagine the events of the play in the last days of Anglo-Irish colonialism, giving The Cherry Orchard vivid new life within our own history and social consciousness. Murphy's adaptation of The Cherry Orchard premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 17 February 2004.

Rusya’da 19. yüzyılın ortalarında toprak köleliği kaldırılmış, burjuvazi yükselişe geçmiştir. Vişne Bahçesi ülkede değişen toplumsal, politik ve ekonomik düzenin gerçekliğiyle yüzleşemeyen aristokrat bir ailenin dokunaklı portresidir. İçinde büyük bir vişne bahçesinin bulunduğu aile çiftliğinin borçlar nedeniyle satılması söz konusudur. Çiftlik sahiplerinin çocukluk anılarıyla birlikte, vişne bahçeleri de geçmişte kalmıştır artık. Yeni düzen karşısında kararlı davranıp mülklerini ellerinde tutmaktan acizdirler. Vişne Bahçesi, 1904 yılında Moskova Sanat Tiyatrosu’nda Stanislavski tarafından sahneye kondu. Çehov yapıtının “komedi, hatta yer yer fars” olduğunu vurgulasa da, Stanislavski oyunu “trajedi” olarak ele almakta ısrar etmişti. Stanislavski o güne dek aşırı duygusal olan Rus tiyatrosuna doğal ve gösterişten uzak bir anlatım getirmesiyle ünlenmiş olsa da, Çehov’un kendi oyunları için istediği yalınlığı ve doğallığı yakalayamamıştı.

The Cherry Orchard was first produced by the Moscow Art Theatre on Chekhov's last birthday, January 17, 1904. Since that time it has become one of the most critically admired and performed plays in the Western world, a high comedy whose principal theme, the passing of the old semifeudal order, is symbolized in the sale of the cherry orchard owned by Madame Ranevsky. The play also functions as a magnificent showcase for Chekhov's acute observations of his characters' foibles and for quizzical ruminations on the approaching dissolution of the world of the Russian aristocracy and life as it was lived on their great country estates. While the subject and the characters of the work are, in a sense, timeless, the dramatic technique of the play was a Chekhovian innovation. In this and other plays he developed the concept of "indirect action," in which the dramatic action takes place off stage and the significance of the play revolves around the reactions of the characters to those unseen events. Reprinted from a standard edition, this inexpensive well-made volume invites any lover of theater or great literature to enter the world of Madame Ranevsky, Anya, Gayef, Lopakhin, Firs, and the other memorable characters whose hopes, fears, loves, and general humanity are so brilliantly depicted in this landmark of world drama.
