  • 1.  War Play

    Posted 11-28-2017 09:19
    Hi, Folks.  I am looking for a good Russian Revolution play to do at our boys school in the spring in observance of the 100th anniversary.  I know of Bulgakov's The White Guard and Gorky's Enemies.  Any other ideas?  Thanks in advance.

    It's probably not what you're looking for, but there's always Animal Farm... ;-)

    If you want to go full-Brecht, there's The Mother, which is a scathing critique of capitalism and extremely pro-socialist. There's Mikhail Shatrov's Onward . . . Onward . . . Onward!, which features a confrontation between Lenin and Stalin (with an eventual indictment of Stalin). There's also Robert Bolt's The State of Revolution.
