The cherry orchard is a pre revolutionary Russian play written by Anton Chekhov released in 1903. The Cherry orchard is a very ambitious play that strives to change and being to light the social issue and effects that is cause by these issues, by looking at things like equality, grief, and poverty.
The area of inequality that is bought by the play is gender and how the females of the time were given very little power and even when they had the power it was taken from them as so as possible. this is shown in the play by the relationship between Ranyevskaya and Lopakhin which is that Ranyevskaya own the land which the cherry orchard is on but is not willing to do anything with the land showing a stereotype of women being less than men in ideas as Lopakhin is willing to selling a potion of the land so they can continue paying the mortgage. this has a large impact on the social status of women at the time as it held up the stereotype of being useless and make poor descensions
Grief is a main theme through out the play due to the implication of ranyevskaya losing he son creating the issue of her leaving which is the main area of effect in the play
poverty is equal shown thorough out the play by how each character has been through some sort of poverty in there lives
In the performance we tried to portray all of these by giving it a light and gentle tone to drive home the more serious issue that the play brings up
