The Cherry Orchard story analysis.

I'm needing your help guys. Anton Chekov's The Cherry Orchard is our main discussion nex week, so I started reading it and yesterday I finished it. The story is nice and I love how Chekov made his theme. I just have one thing to clarify about the story.
Many of the most important and traumatic events in the play—Grisha's drowning, the sale of the orchard, Ranevsky's suicide attempt—either happen before the play's action or off-stage. Why do you think Chekhov would stage some of the most dramatic events outside the confines of the play itself? What effect does this have on the play?

thank you in advance
