"The Lower Depths" is a play written by Maxim Gorky in 1902 and produced by
the Moscow Arts Theatre. It portrays the lives of impoverished Russians living
in a shelter near the Volga. Initially criticized for its pessimism, the play
is now considered a masterwork of Russian social realism. The theme of harsh
truth versus comforting lies runs throughout the play, as characters choose to
deceive themselves rather than face their bleak reality. The plot revolves
around the interactions and struggles of various characters, including a
thief, a vendor, a policeman, and a dying woman. The play explores themes of
poverty, deception, and the human condition. It has been adapted into several
films and has influenced other works, such as Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman
Cometh.
