Recommended
Russian playwright Maxim Gorky's dark comedy, written during the Russian Revolution of 1905, follows members of a new middle class as they search for meaning in ignorance of their impending annihilation. This modernized production by Timofey Kulyabin (Three Sisters, Onegin), filmed at his Red Torch Theatre in Novosibirsk, is set in 1999 at Standford University, and focuses on a group of students who "[barely sense] that their own privileged world is in jeopardy."
