The family estate, which includes a large cherry orchard, is at risk of being sold due to debts. Unable to act decisively in the face of the new order, the family is incapable of holding on to its property. Along with the childhood memories of the estate owners, the cherry orchards themselves have now become part of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aydin.edu.tr\/haberler\/PublishingImages\/Pages\/visne-bahcesi-oyununa-uc-odul-birden\/Vi%C5%9Fne%20Bah%C3%A7esi%20G%C3%B6rsel.jpeg\" alt=\"Vi\u015fne Bah\u00e7esi G\u00f6rsel.jpeg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aydin.edu.tr\/haberler\/PublishingImages\/Pages\/visne-bahcesi-oyununa-uc-odul-birden\/Vi%C5%9Fne%20Bah%C3%A7esi%20G%C3%B6rsel%202.jpeg\" alt=\"Vi\u015fne Bah\u00e7esi G\u00f6rsel 2.jpeg\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The play titled The Cherry Orchard, directed by Prof. Mehmet Birkiye, Head of the Department of Drama and Acting at Istanbul Ayd\u0131n University, won awards in three categories at the 24th Afife Theatre Awards, the most prestigious awards of Turkish theatre.
