Despite his revolutionary youth, he became increasingly disillusioned with Soviet society, and three of his plays--all banned until after Stalin's death--reflect his changing assessments of the Revolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMayakovsky: Plays \u003c\/i\u003eincludes \u003ci\u003eMystery Bouffe, \u003c\/i\u003ea mock medieval mystery written in 1918 to celebrate the first anniversary of the Revolution; \u003ci\u003eThe Bathhouse, \u003c\/i\u003ea sharp attack on Soviet bureaucracy subtitled \"a drama of circus and fireworks\"; and \u003ci\u003eThe Bedbug, \u003c\/i\u003e in which a worker with bourgeois pretensions is frozen and resurrected fifty years later, when the world has become a material paradise.
