The Master And Margarita [Drama On 3]

By Mikhail Bulgakov

Adapted by Lucy Catherine

With music by Stephen Warbeck

The Devil comes to Moscow in Bulgakov's fantastical and frightening satire of Soviet life, and unleashes a whirlwind of chaos that entangles Moscow's literary elite, Margarita and her beloved, a condemned writer known only as the Master, Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate, as well as the vodka-drinking giant tomcat Behemoth.

Written in secret during the darkest days of Stalin's reign, The Master and Margarita became a literary sensation on publication and has become one of the best-loved modern classics of world literature.

This landmark adaptation of Bulgakov's imaginative extravaganza features songs and original music from Academy Award-winning composer Stephen Warbeck, and an all-star cast led by Anne-Marie Duff as Margarita and Anton Lesser as Professor Woland.
