{"product_id":"cherry-orchard","title":"Cherry Orchard","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe funny thing is the harder I work the more clearly I understand things.  When I’m worn out after a day’s work then it’s like my brain relaxes. And sometimes then I get it. The meaning of my life.  My purpose on this earth. How many people ever get to say that? And you know what? It doesn’t matter. Doesn’t change anything. It is not important. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Chekhov's tragi-comedy - arguably his most popular play - the Gayev family is torn by powerful forces deeply rooted in history and the  society in which they live. Their estate is hopelessly in debt. Urged to  cut down their beautiful cherry orchard and sell the land for holiday  cottages, the family struggles to act decisively. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVigorous and profound, this new version of Chekhov's classic play by Olivier award-winner Simon Stephens, from a literal translation by Helen Rappaport,  is an anguished and heartbreaking love letter to a society in violent transition. It received its world premiere at the Young Vic, London, on 10 October 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223383495000,"sku":"9781474231770","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781474231770.jpg?v=1743737434","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/cherry-orchard","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
