Iranshahr Theater Complex to host Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard

Iran Theater-Mikael Shahrestani will direct the new adaptation of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard in Iranshahr Theater Complex.

The play "Cherry Orchard" by Anton Chekhov is about the fate of the members of a family under the pretext of auctioning an old cherry orchard. This show will be staged from  April  14 in Iranshahr Theater Complex.

The Cherry Orchard is the last play by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. Written in 1903, it was first published by Znaniye, and came out as a separate edition later that year in Saint Petersburg, via A.F. Marks Publishers. The play revolves around an aristocratic Russian landowner who returns to her family estate (which includes a large and well-known cherry orchard) just before it is auctioned to pay the mortgage. Unresponsive to offers to save the estate, she allows its sale to the son of a former serf; the family leaves to the sound of the cherry orchard being cut down. The story presents themes of cultural futility – both the futile attempts of the aristocracy to maintain its status and of the bourgeoisie to find meaning in its new-found materialism.
