The Cherry Orchard
A landowner comes back from Paris to the estate she can no longer pay for, where the orchard is famous enough to be in the encyclopedia and the mortgage is due in August. A merchant whose family were serfs on the place offers a plan to save it by cutting it down; the household talks past him. An era ending in the sound of axes.
