Summary/Abstract: This article displays various interpretations of the image of an orchard in dramaturgy by Pavel Pryazhko. Orchard is used there as “a territory of memory” (personal, cultural and historical). The existence of characters on such territory is rather provocative one because it establishes the distance between the idea of an orchard (as a symbol of the “highest values”) and its modern «variant», which becomes the metaphor of contemporary life.
