Lydia Martin (the Actress) is preparing for her final and farewell performance in "The Cherry Orchard". She is saying goodbye to the theatre and stage for ever. She is getting married and starting a new life in Switzerland.
Various people from her life invade her dressing room, to say their goodbyes, declare their love, roar with laughter, spit insults, grab a final embrace and renew old battles.
