Synopsis: Written in 1901, Gorky’s masterpiece was presented for the first time a year later in the Moscow Art Theatre. Brooding, dark, deeply humane work, set in a cheap lodginghouse with the characters drawn from the dregs of society. Before allowing the play on the boards, the vigiliant censors made more than eighty cuts. It was a time of great unrest in Russia, but even thus emasculated, it was a huge success with Gorky taking over 15 curtain calls. The present translation, made especially for the recent production of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s recent production, has been hailed as “superb”.

Synopsis: Together with The Lower Depths, which is generally recognized as Gorky’s maserpiece, Enemies represents the author’s contribution to theater. Even thought it was written in 1906, the play wasn’t performed in Russia until 1935 and was little known outside of it until the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of this translation, which took place in 1971. Enemies depicts the oposing reactions of two factory owners to the mounting discontent of their workers and was written at a time when the stability of Czarist rule had already been badly shaken. “Enemies is a social rather than a political play” ; “Gorky was too good a writer, and too imbued with the poetic realism of Chekhov, to nrrow his art down to the purely polemical. However comitted he was to the cause of the underdog, he never forgot that the oppressors were also human beings, vulnerable and confused, as much victims of history as those they oppressed”.
