    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Classic of world drama concerns the passing of the old semifeudal order in turn-of-the-century Russia, symbolized in the sale of the cherry orchard owned by Madame Ranevskaya. The work also showcases the great Russian writer's rich sensitivities as an observer of human nature. An inexpensive, high-quality edition, reprinted from a standard edition of the play.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This play is one of the most desperately sad things I have ever seen. It is a portrait of a family struggling in a period where old and new russia are scraping up against each other in a way that is physically painful to watch.

    <body><![CDATA[Liked this almost as much as Uncle Vanya. One of the best aspects of this play is the pathetic comedy- Chekhov even classified it as a comedy, even though it has a depressing plot. Moments like Trofimov getting yelled at by Mrs. Ranevsky, then running of crying and falls down the stairs- hilarious, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36260903">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, in this unique adaptation of one of the great masterpieces of the theater, allows us to see Anton Chekhov’s <em>The Cherry</em> <em>Orchard </em>in totally new and surprising ways. As Mamet explains in his introduction, he views the play “as a series of scenes about sexuality and, particularly, frustrated sexuality” rather than about a dying Russia. The result, said <em>The Sentinel</em> “blows a gust of fresh air into the old play” while the <em>Chicago</em> <em>Sun-Times </em>called it “audacious [and] consistently arresting.”&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Chekov's masterful last play, THE CHERRY ORCHARD, is a work of timeless, bittersweet beauty about the fading fortunes of an aristocratic Russian family and their struggle to maintain their status in a changing world. Alternately touching and farcical, this subtle, intelligent play stars the incomparable Marsha Mason, Jennifer Tilly, Hector Elizondo, Jeffrey Jones, Michael Cristofer and Charles Durning.]]>
