The Lower Depths
The Lower Depths (, "Na dne", literally: 'At the bottom') is perhaps the best known of Maxim Gorky's plays. It was written during the winter of 1901 and the spring of 1902. Subtitled "Scenes from Russian Life," it depicted a group of impoverished Russians living in a shelter near the Volga. Produced by the Moscow Arts Theatre on December 18, 1902, Konstantin Stanislavski directed and starred. It became his first major success, and a hallmark of Russian
other areas of the canon including the British premieres of "La Ronde" and "The Prince of Homburg" and revivals of "The Lower Depths", "Don Carlos" and "The Dybbuk". American work has also been important – Tennessee Williams, O'Neill, Miller, August Wilson – as has new writing, with the world premieres of "The Dresser", "Amongst Barbarians", "A Wholly Healthy Glasgow" and "Port" to its name.
