1905. Russia is at a turning point. Zakhar Bardin is from the
landowning class, but is now the uneasy owner of a factory. His
managing director is determined to face down militant workers on a
point of principle. But the shutting of the business has tragic
consequences for everyone concerned. Gorky's extraordinary play,
which was written in exile and banned in his home country, presents
a panoramic view of a restless society, with a bourgeoisie no
longer sure of its own values, and a working class steadily facing
up to the terrifying sacrifices ahead. Described by Ronald Bryden
in the Observer in 1971 as 'a real discovery . . . the missing link
between Chekhov and the Russian revolution', Enemies has a dramatic
breadth, humour and ambition unique to Gorky. Maxim Gorky's Enemies
is adapted by David Hare and premiered at the Almeida Theatre,
London, in May 2006.
