Gwydion Theatre Company presents a world premiere adaptation of Maxim Gorky’s masterpiece, The Lower Depths, adapted by Gwydion Theatre Artistic Director, Grayson Kennedy, and directed by Danny Kapinos. This play is the second in Gwydion Theatre’s “Season of Class” where we aim to exam the history and practice of classism in society. The Lower Depths investigates the forgotten class, the poorest of our poor citizens, and their untold human connections in a world where they have been disconnected from humanity. The play runs approximately two hours with an intermission.
