The Lower Depths
By Maxim Gorky
Translated by Alex Szogyi
Directed by Bagryana Popov
The Lower Depths is one of the great plays written for theatre. Written by Maxim Gorky in 1902 on the brink of enormous social change, it is just as powerful today. Set in a homeless shelter, it shows people living in extreme poverty, hardship, violence, alcoholism, and yet at the heart of the play is humanity, compassion, and people’s search for something better.
A hard-hitting and deeply honest play, filled with some of the best characters you will ever meet on stage or screen.
