    <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>
