Simon McBurney's award-winning company Complicite returns to the Barbican in London with a new adaptation of this classic Soviet satire, following the success of their previous productions, Shun-kin and A Disappearing Number.
A man travels from Moscow to Yalta at the speed of light. A writer burns his novel. A woman goes to hell and back to save her lover. All the while, Pontius Pilate argues with Jesus about the nature of human worth.
The enigmas that bind Bulgakov's violent, poetic maelstrom of a novel are one reason it is hailed as a masterpiece of Russian literature, remaining timeless and vital to this day. Don’t miss this highly-anticipated production.
