| The Play | ||||||||
| The play transports us back to the time of the Russian revolution and allows us a glimpse into the ideology of Lenin, one of the great leaders of Soviet Russia, his vision for the people of Russia and the world, and the dangers that surrounded both him and his belief system. Suffering from bullet injuries, Lenin is racing against time to give a firm foundation and a clear direction to the revolution that is gearing up to move in uncharted territory. The Russian revolution witnessed the triumph of the human spirit, and extraordinary courage and action from ordinary people as the young Soviet Republic fought its way against hunger, industrial stagnation and capitalist encirclement. Fighting fiercely against the bourgeois and capitalist exploitation, dogmatic beliefs and also leftist extremism and communist high-handedness, Lenin's thoughts are centered on taking Russia and its people out of agricultural and industrial paralysis. | ||||||||
