First staged at the National Theatre in 1991, Keith Dewhurst's adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's satirical masterpiece is a dark comic gem. Set amid the paranoia and oppression of 1920's Moscow, it follows Maksudov, a bewildered writer whose unsuccessful novel is transformed into a stage play by the state theatre. As his own personal hell erupts he struggles to keep hold of his play, his integrity and finally his sanity.
