The Cherry Orchard
In this production of The Cherry Orchard, and starring Bill Paterson and Timothy Spall, Dench picked up a BAFTA for her portrayal of Madame Ranevsky.

Madame Ranevsky and her daughter Anya return home from Paris to find that their beloved family estate and cherry orchard are to be auctioned off to pay debts. Lopahin, a former serf on the estate who is now a wealthy landowner, proposes razing the home and cherry orchard and dividing the estate into plots that could be leased at great profit. The family, however, continues to hold out hope that their beloved home can somehow be saved from destruction.
