medium only Timothy West as Yegor Bulichov in Yegor Bulichov and Others by MAXIM GORKY translated by GIBSON COWAN adapted for radio by ANTHONY JACOBS
In 1929. shortly before he died, Gorky planned a dramatic trilogy telling the story of the early years of the Russian Revolution as he remembered them in a provincial community. He wrote only two of these and the first was Yegor Bulichov. The play is set in 1917. Tsar Nicholas is still on the throne, Russia is at war with the Central Powers and the Revolution has not yet begun.
