Note 7 — THE SYMBOLIC DRAMAS OF ANDREYEFF

“The Life of Man,” published in 1906, was the first symbolic drama written in Russia. Later followed Andreyeff’s symbolic dramas, “King Hunger” (the representation of which was forbidden by the censor), “The Black Maskers,” “Anatema” (which was taken from the stage on petition of the Moscow clergy), and “The Ocean,” which, owing to technical difficulties of inscenation, was never staged.
