Master and Margarita returns to the Barbican!
14 December - 15 January Barbican theatre, Silk Street London EC2Y 8DS
Following its sold-out season earlier this year, Complicite’s latest production returns to the Barbican for a limited run. A woman goes to hell and back to save her lover. Pontius Pilate argues with Christ about the nature of human worth. And the Devil pays a visit to Stalinist Moscow, exposing the hypocrisy, greed and corruption of its citizens.Moving between the fervently atheistic Moscow of the 1930s and Jerusalem during the last days of Jesus’s life, Bulgakov’s violent, poetic maelstrom of a novel comes to life through performance, video, puppetry and music in Simon McBurney’s breathtaking adaptation.
