 | Cherry Orchard by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, David Mamet, Elisaveta Lavrova, Jean-Claude Van Itallie, Michael Frayn
The final play written by the famous Russian author, first published in 1904. It portrays the decline of the charming and doomed Ranevskaya family, and opens with Madame Ranevskaya returning debt-ridden to Russia after a five-year exile in Paris following the death of her son. The unscrupulous merchant Lopakhin convinces her that she can only raise the money she needs by selling the famous cherry orchard that surrounds the estate to developers. As the unhappy Ranevskayas leave the estate at the end, the sound of saws can be heard in the orchard outside.

 | Contesting Tears by Stanley Cavell
Stanley Cavell identifies a genre in Hollywood films, which he names the melodrama of the unknown woman, which parallels a genre he explored in his earlier book Pursuits of Happiness. In this case he examines four films-- Letter from an Unknown Woman, Gaslight, Now Voyager, and Stella Dallas --that feature female characters who demand equality, shared education, and equal relationships, but recognize that in these pursuits they are tragically isolated; their characters are consequently interpreted, by male characters and audiences alike, as inaccessible.
