Lower Depths
Author: Maxim Gorky, Jacques Chwat
This compelling 1902 play, considered Gorky’s masterpiece, centers on a group of wretched souls who congregate to play cards, tell stories, and debate whether it is better to live without illusions or to maintain a romanticized world view. A powerful, influential drama, hailed for its realistic and memorable characterizations.
