The Master & Margarita, or The Devil Comes to Moscow
About
A magical play based on the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, adapted for the stage by Jean-Claude van Itallie. Directed by the Finley Award-winning Virginia Moore-Price for GRADS Theatre Company at the Old Mill Theatre, July-August 2026. By arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.The Devil, his acrobatic cat and other colourful cronies come to Stalin's Moscow to wreak hilarious surreal havoc on the lives of writers, critics and bureaucrats who have lost touch with their feelings. Satan sends some to the madhouse, stages a devilish play within a play, and gives the lyrical Margarita a whirlwind witch's ride climaxing in a satanic masked ball as she searches for her lover, a writer known as "Master". The novel Master is writing appears simultaneously on stage. His work, politically suppressed, focuses on the moral dilemma of Pontius Pilate in biblical Jerusalem...
