A new play by John Hodge (screenwriter of Trainspotting), Directed by National Theatre Artistic Director Nicholas Hytner.
The play centers on an imaginary encounter between Joseph Stalin and the playwright Mikhail Bulgakov (best known for his novel The Master and Margarita); Alex Jennings (The Habit of Art) will play Bulgakov and Simon Russell Beale (London Assurance) will play Stalin.
Art dances with power in a masterfully acted play that is "gripping, disturbing and often blackly comic."
