The Cherry Orchard The Cherry Orchard The Cherry Orchard () is the last play by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. Written in 1903, it was first published by "Znaniye" (Book Two, 1904), and came out as a separate edition later that year in Saint Petersburg, via A.F. Marks Publishers. It opened at the Moscow Art Theatre on 17 January 1904 in a production directed by Konstantin Stanislavski. Chekhov described the play as a comedy, with some elements of farce, though Stanislavski treated it as a tragedy. Since its first production, directors have contended with its dual nature. It is often identified as one of
Cherry Sisters mentioned in "Changing Husbands" (1924), when Leatrice Joy, who wants to become a performer, says she thinks she is so good she can "make Mrs. Fiske look like the Cherry Sisters." The story of the Cherry Sisters is featured as one of the segments in Season 4, Episode 11 of Comedy Central's show "Drunk History". The Cherry Sisters are mentioned in Mae West's "She Done Him Wrong" (1933), when she visits Sing-Sing Prison to see an old flame. The Cherry Sisters was mentioned in an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, season 8, The Keystone Constables. Cherry Sisters The Cherry Sisters –
