A civilised and complacent culture is on the brink of collapse...
The tide of change is coming. Madam Ranyevskaya's liberal world of
privilege and pleasure is beginning to show cracks, but she and her
family live on in denial. Lopakhin wants to rescue Ranyevskaya. The
hard-working son of one of her family's serfs, his new-found wealth
can offer shelter and security to the woman he has loved since
boyhood, but it will come at a high price. Meanwhile, revolution
hangs in the air, the poor and hungry are pushing at the doors, and
the tutor Trofimov predicts a tumultuous change for everybody.
Chekhov's final masterpiece is full of wild humour and piercing
sadness in this fresh, funny and honest new translation by
award-winning playwright and Russian speaker Rory Mullarkey. A
portrait of changing times, it maps the building tensions between
the desperate longing to hold onto what is familiar and the
restless lure of the new.
