At the Bottom
Maxim Gorky’s The Lower Depths, adapted and directed by Jack Tamburri
At the Bottom is a landmark in dramatic literature for its authentic, unflinching, and darkly comic portraits of people on society’s margins. Set in a notorious flophouse in a rapidly changing industrial city on the eve of revolution, it asks what role fantasy has in a bleak life, and what lengths people will go to gain momentary power over one another.
