When I'm worn out after a day's work then it's like my brain relaxes. And sometimes then I get it. The meaning of my life. My purpose on this earth. How many people ever get to say that? And you know what? It doesn't matter. Doesn't change anything. It is not important. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Chekhov's tragi-comedy - arguably his most popular play - the Gayev family is torn by powerful forces deeply rooted in history and the society in which they live. Their estate is hopelessly in debt. Urged to cut down their beautiful cherry orchard and sell the land for holiday cottages, the family struggles to act decisively. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVigorous and profound, this new version of Chekhov's classic play by Olivier award-winner Simon Stephens, from a literal translation by Helen Rappaport, is an anguished and heartbreaking love letter to a society in violent transition. It received its world premiere at the Young Vic, London, on 10 October 2014.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anton Chekhov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474231772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474231770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Anton Chekhov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181497446655,"sku":"9781474231770","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9281728-687b-4840-a162-c53f0fa3e91a.jpg?v=1690260776","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cherry-orchard-anton-chekhov-9781474231770","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
