Author by: David Mamet Language: en Publisher by: Grove Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 9 Total Download: 444 File Size: 47,9 Mb Description: Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet, in this unique adaptation of one of the great masterpieces of the theater, allows us to see Anton Chekhov's 'The Cherry Orchard' in totally new and surprising ways. As Mamet explains in his introduction, he views the play 'as a series of scenes about sexuality and, particularly, frustrated sexuality' rather than about a dying Russia. The result, said 'The Sentinel,' 'blows a gust of fresh air into the old play' while the Chicago Sun-Times called it 'audacious and consistently arresting.' 'Mamet the adaptor has turned Chekhov's Cherry Orchard into a Mamet play. Mamet's ear is famously impeccable, the dialogue is always authentic and convincing. This is a tribute to its strong point of view and clear point of departure.
If nothing else, it will help to undermine our silly critical notions of 'definitive' Chekhov. Mamet has made me rethink the play.' - Robert Brustein, 'The New Republic'.

Chekhov is often credited for being one of the major figures of both modern theatre and the modern short story. The Cherry Orchard, published in 1904, was the last play Chekhov wrote and is considered by many to be his finest work. The play centers around an aristocratic Russian actress who allows her family's estate to be sold to the son of a former serf. The Cherry Orchard is also well known for its commentary on Russian society near the turn of the 20th century. Author by: Anton Pavlovich Chekhov Language: en Publisher by: The Floating Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 86 Total Download: 433 File Size: 53,8 Mb Description: The Cherry Orchard was written by Chekhov as a comedy, but directed by Stanislavski as a tragedy on its premier. The play has maintained the dual nature of these intentions ever since.
An aristocratic family return to their estate on the eve of auction. Though alternatives present themselves, the family is apathetic and their property is sold. The play addresses the vast changes to the Russian social casts at the time, and the general cultural futility experienced by the aristocracy and bourgeoisie in their shifting roles.

The Cherry Orchard By Anton Chekhov Summary
Author by: Janet Suzman Language: en Publisher by: Oberon Books Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 57 Total Download: 977 File Size: 55,6 Mb Description: This powerful version of Chekhov’s famous drama reflects the South African phenomenon of the 1990s. With the hindsight of the new millennium we can look back and see that the miracle did happen. The new order did take over from the old. The fruitless cherry orchard was chopped down. The old men who couldn't move with the times have been left behind and forgotten. Chekhov's great pre-revolutionary drama, dreaming of youthful energy replacing the worn-out inertia of a dying world, lends itself vividly to this new setting in post-revolutionary South Africa.
