THE CHILDREN OF THE SUN
Maxim Gorky
It is rather hard to catch the fleeting happiness, especially in times of change... The beginning of the XX century was a period of efflorescence in science and art and at the same time the precursor of the great disaster.
In «The Children of the Sun» Maxim Gorky addresses the internal tensions that wracked bourgeois Russian society during the turbulent years leading up to the Bolshevik Revolution. The writer brings up the eternal themes of love, loneliness, alienation and hope, taking place against the backdrop of disturbing times. Many of Gorky’s plays were staged at Maly Theatre, but «The Children of the Sun» was staged here for the first time. Additionally, this is the first cooperation of Maly Theatre with a famous director Adolf Shapiro.
