changing so rapidly. Apart from Hinkley’s experience abroad, the
exhibit also includes views of more recent change in China through an
exhibit on loan from Bates College Museum of Art and the Smithsonian
Institution Traveling Exhibition Service from April 11 to June 7, 2009.

 | Philistines
7:30 PM - 10:00 PM
The University of Colorado, Department of Theatre and Dance is proud
to present Maxim Gorky’s first play, “Philistines.”
A
pre-revolutionary play that blends sharp-edged drama with black comedy and
politics, “Philistines” is centered around a family of ordinary, provincial and
small bourgeois Russians. The Bessemenov family is headed by a reactionary and
miserly father and a cruel and vindictive mother. This couple subjects their
three adult children – a daughter, a son and an adopted son – to their
tyrannical nature. Also subjected are the lodgers – a group sharing the
residence – who constantly provoke the family with their sharp criticism and
joie de vivre.
The
drama is rooted in the irreconcilable differences between fathers and sons, who
long to break free from the suffocating rigidity of their elders. Gorky crafts a sharp and ironic
commentary on a wide range of issues through his mirror of Russian society,
from class differences to provocative issues of sex, economics, politics, love
and marriage.
Directed by P.R. Berton and presented by the students at the
University of Colorado at Boulder, tickets for this University Theatre
production are now on sale.
