About the play...
While touring a house to potentially buy with their respective guardians, two young people meet in the adjoining cherry orchard. Over the course of a long conversation, they fall in love, fall out of love, fight, kiss, and propose marriage. At the point of utter confusion, they are interrupted by the housing agent, who explains the destruction of the institute of marriage. A total advocate for love, however, he makes some very good points. Once the young couple feels they understand, the agent is discovered and carted away to the asylum by a passing police officer; closing on a realistic beginning to a lasting marriage.
