The Cherry Orchard at Huntington Theatre

Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, his final and arguably greatest full-length play, is still as relevant today as it was when it opened at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1904. A cherry orchard, retaining years of family memories within its blossoms and branches, is the pride and joy of the owners of an estate. However, it's about to be sold at auction unless delinquent property taxes are paid, but none of the landowners seem to be willing or able to grasp the gravity of the situation. With its daring and insightful assessment of mortgage, debt and bourgeois materialism in a changing socioeconomic climate, you can see why this tragicomedy truly was a revolutionary work. Experience the innovative talent of the next generation of theatre artists at this Boston University College of Fine Arts production of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard.
