SYNOPSIS:
Our story begins at dawn on a cold day in May, in the nursery of the Ranevsky estate. Though warm and comfortable, the room has long been vacant of children. The estates owner, Madame Ranevskaya, has just returned from a five-year sojourn in Paris. Her brother, Gayev, and her two daughters, Anya and Varya, are there to welcome her home. Its a joyful reunion the family hasnt come together like this for many years. But a cloud hangs over the occasion; the once-grand Ranevsky family has fallen on hard times and can barely afford the upkeep on the estate. If they dont find some money soon, theyll have to sell both the house and the huge cherry orchard which has become its symbol.
