The Master and Margarita

Moscow in the age of Stalin and a mysterious stranger appears in a park. Soon he and his retinue have astonished the locals with the magic show to end all magic shows and have quite literally set the town alight. But what's the real purpose behind their visit? And what the devil has it to do with the gorgeous and sensual Margarita? Or with her lover the Master, a writer whose masterpiece has been silenced by earthly powers. Will anyone solve the mystery before the night of the spring full moon? A crazy roller-coaster, a wicked satire and a poignant love-story, with vampires, flying broomsticks and a talking cat. Contains nudity and some violent imagery.
Author Mikhail Bulgakov

Incredible. Steven Pimlott handled this piece of work wonderfully. Edward Kemp wrote it very well as well. But may I note that John Marquez is no longer acting in it for he has broken his back.
