The Master & Margarita
by Mikhail Bulgakov
translated and adapted by Mike Lion
Produced by Dacha Theatre
“[Lion]…keeps the action careening forward at such a breakneck pace that even if you miss a plot point or two, you’ll still be captivated by the show’s blend of live action, puppetry, and projections, and the surprisingly relevant political parallels to our current era, both overseas and here at home.” - NW Theatre

The Devil went down to Moscow...1930’s Soviet era Moscow that is. The Master is missing. His novel about Pontius Pilate was rejected, and he himself has disappeared. To find her lover, Margarita must embark on a journey that will bring her into contact with a mysterious foreigner and his otherworldly crew. This gothic Soviet fairytale, full of magical realism, and satire of greed and corruption is a sometimes charming, sometimes bewildering, always hilarious ride through a strange, but all too recognizable world.
