Event information
by Maxim Gorky
adapted by Andrew Upton
Vik Sivalingam director
Vicky Sweatman designer
Amid the failed Russian Revolution of 1905, Gorky’s darkly comic masterpiece captures a society on the brink. In a cluttered household of thinkers and schemers, the new middle class fantasize, philosophize 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
