Some of the greatest American playwrights \u2013 such as Arthur Miller, David Mamet, and Eugene O\u2019Neill \u2013 were directly influenced by Chekhov.\n\nAfter a prolonged absence following the death of her son, noblewoman Lyobov Ranevskaya returns to her estate and finds the cherry orchard on the estate in full bloom. Despite this outward sign of prosperity, her home is on the verge of financial ruin. Along with her brother, Gaev, Lyobov struggles to maintain the fa\u00e7ade of gentility as their world crumbles around them.\n\nWritten by Anton Chekhov\nTranslated by Paul Schmidt\nDirected by Daniel Cantor\n\nFUN FACTS: Is *The Cherry Orchard* a comedy or a tragedy? It depends on who you ask. According to artlark.org, \u201cThe original intention of Chekhov was for *The Cherry Orchard* to be a comedy; yet, [Constantin] Stanislavsky [famous actor\/director and creator of the eponymous Stanislavsky method, known as \u2018method acting\u2019] turned it into a tragedy.\u201d Russian literature scholar Svetlana Evdokimova quotes Stanislavsky as saying, \u201c\u2018This is not a comedy, not a farce, as you wrote; it is a tragedy, whatever outlet for a better life you may have offered in the last act\u2026 I hear you saying: \u201cWait a minute, but this is a farce\u2026\u201d No, for an ordinary person this is a tragedy.\u2019\u201d Yet this conflict is what makes *The Cherry Orchard* such good theatre. As Evdokimova says, \u201cClearly, the source of the comic lies not in the play\u2019s fabula or situation, not in what happens, but in how it happens and to whom it happens. The enigmatic, captivating, and almost mesmerising effect that *The Cherry Orchard* continues to exert on its audience is to be found in its good-humoured but foolish protagonists \u2013 both charming in their gullibility and pathetic in their utter confusion.\u201d", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"113755-21831545@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/113755", "building_id":"1005059", "building_name":"Walgreen Drama Center", "campus_maps_id":"526", "room":"Arthur Miller Theatre", "location_name":"Walgreen Drama Center", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"General Admission by Floor $30 | Students $13 with ID", "tags":["Art","Theater","Storytelling","North Campus","In Person","Comedy"], "website":"https:\/\/smtd.umich.edu\/programs\/the-cherry-orchard\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"School of Music, Theatre & Dance (SMTD)", "group_id":"155", "website":"http:\/\/smtd.umich.edu\/events" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/02\/event_113755_original-2.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21831545 } }
