A group of desperate and broken people whose lives are fuelled by drink, dreams and song are trapped in a world that doesn’t suit them. Though they most often turn their savagery against each other, it is the intrusion of a wealthy family who have some sort of ownership over the place in which they live who cause the most disruption.
It’s a play that looks at human dignity and the meaning of life through the stories of those who have sunk into destitution and despair.
Considered to be Maxim Gorky’s masterpiece, The Lower Depths, was first performed in 1902. This adaptation has made substantial changes to the play to reflect more keenly on modern times.
