The Cherry Orchard

This is a documentation of a preparation for a production of Anton Chekhov's, The Cherry Orchard. November's entries are answers for an application to The University of Washington's MFA Directing Program. The rest are random pieces of what will one day become a complete prep for the play. This site is a work in progress.

Meaning/Action/Protagonist

What is The Cherry Orchard about? Who is the main character? Can you articulate a main action or spine for the piece?

The Cherry Orchard is a play about a woman, Lyubov Ranevskaya, who spends most of her life evading the realities of pain and loss and who is forced home after years of blind flight, respectability and finances waning, to linger in the immediate but temporary safety of her debt-ridden family estate.
