Hesperus, Phosphorus! is a tense, intimate drama about opposites that cannot exist without one another—man and woman, aristocrat and servant, night and day. Set in Petrograd on the brink of revolution, it follows Polina, a fallen noblewoman clinging to the past, and Maksim, a radical servant desperate to escape it. Bound by love, resentment, and need, they tear into each other in a battle of class, power, and longing.
