The Summer estate of Mme Ranyevskaia is in debt, the mortgage is due for payment. Her family and servants still live there but she is returning after many years. A landowner, Lopakhin advises her that her beloved Cherry Orchard must be sold to pay the debts but ir could be saved if she agrees to letting tenants onto a portion of the land for summer holiday homes. Ranyevskaia cannot bear that idea and neither can her family or servants. Will she sell the land and save the Cherry Orchard? The play explores with good humour the relationship between old and new Rissia; the old families and their rivals, the nouveau riche who have all the money but no class and heritage.
