The Lower Depths

Ruchika Theatre’s production of Maxim Gorky’s classic play
Directed by Feisal Alkazi

First premiered in 1902 under the direction of Konstantin Stanislavski, and where he developed ‘Method Acting’, the play is a hallmark of Russian social realism. The play depicts a group of impoverished Russians living in a shelter near the Volga. Considered a theatre classic, new productions of the play in every conceivable language of the world are performed regularly.
