The play based on Gorky's debut play was directed by Elizaveta Bondar, whose first work at the Youth Theatre was nominated for the "Golden Sofit" and "Breakthrough" awards. The play "The Bourgeois" is the first dramatic work of Maxim Gorky. Its events take place in the house of Vasily Bessemenov, whose deadened way of life prevents its inhabitants from hearing each other and living in peace. In this gloomy and unhappy place, conflicts and quarrels constantly flare up, and there seems to be no end to the disputes. It is surprising how cruel and indifferent people used to be! Did such situations really occur in reality? In this play, the director showed what the characters of the play might be like in our time. It turns out that they are quite recognizable types, each with their own truth. You can find more plays in St. Petersburg on our website in the theater section.
