Collaborators
Friday, December 9 at 7:30pm
$20 Members $25 Public
Moscow, 1938. A dangerous place to have a sense of humour; even more so a sense
of freedom. Mikhail Bulgakov, living among dissidents, stalked by secret police, has
both. And then he's offered a poisoned chalice: a commission to write a play about
Stalin to celebrate his sixtieth birthday. Inspired by historical fact, Collaborators embarks
on a surreal journey into the fevered imagination of the writer as he loses himself
in a macabre and disturbingly funny relationship with the omnipotent subject of his
drama.John Hodge's blistering new play depicts a lethal game of cat and mouse
through which the appalling compromises and humiliations inflicted on any artist by those with power are held up to scrutiny.
Alex Jennings (The Habit of Art) plays Bulgakov and Simon Russell Beale (London Assurance), Stalin. 180 min. with Intermission
