Enemies

Set on a family estate in provincial Russia in 1907, Gorky’s powerful drama Enemies focuses on a struggle between workers and industrialists. Caught in the middle, the well intentioned liberal-minded owner’s brother is slain in a scuffle with a workman. The ensuing investigation uncovers a political fervour that sweeps the countryside. Michael Attenborough directs David Hare’s new version of Gorky’s Enemies.
