Stage a new abridged production of The Cherry Orchard (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gean

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the cherry orchard' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'stage a new abridged production' is the wordplay.
'GEAN' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gean that I've seen before include "fruit" , "wild F" .)
