Written in 1904, "Useless Men" by Maxim Gorky is neither a tragedy nor a comedy. We often perceive it as a drama, in which in the words of one of the characters "no one will die" says the director Ivan Panteleev. Everyone stays alive, but for some life is a heavy burden, and for others a continuation of the search for "the better life". All characters are labouring under illusions for themselves and their surroundings and in fact, have become the comic characters. Temporarily residing in this place, spending their lives quietly and mindlessly at the cottage. But at the same time within themselves these educated but unstable and insecure people, understand that this life does not suit them, that this life is not real, but they are unable to change anything. They are all dissatisfied with their present, which in the words of one of the characters resembles a "monster, demanding of their sacrifices and impossible efforts."
