Play review - "The Cherry Orchard" by Chekov

Perhaps Chekov's most famous play which has the advantage (in terms of becoming a legend) of being his last. I enjoyed it, though not as much as Uncle Vanya. I can't help it, for me the lead character, the rich girl, was too much of an idiot, frittering away most of her money. The characters I liked the most were the rich merchant determined to avenge his serf past and the socialist perennial student who manages to hang on to his ideals. Tragedy or comedy? I think just drama, a little funny, a lot sad. The ending device of chopping down the cherry orchard is extremely powerful.
