Event information

by Maxim Gorky  
adapted by Andrew Upton  

Vik Sivalingam director  
Vicky Sweatman designer  

Amid the failed Russian Revolution of the early 1860s, Gorky’s darkly comic masterpiece captures a society on the brink. In a cluttered household of thinkers and schemers, the new middle class fantasise, philosophise and argue – oblivious to the storm of change about to engulf them. 

Andrew Upton’s celebrated adaptation premiered at the National Theatre in 2013.

“Upton's adaptation of Gorky's play is a tragicomic gem.” - The Telegraph
