Collaborators

By John Hodge, directed by John Irvine

Moscow, 1938. A dangerous place to have a sense of humour; even more so a sense of freedom. Mikhail Bulgakov, living among dissidents, stalked by secret police, has both.  And then he’s offered a poisoned chalice: a commission to write a play about Stalin to celebrate his sixtieth birthday.  Inspired by historical fact, Collaborators embarks on a surreal journey into the fevered imagination of the writer as he loses himself in a macabre and disturbingly funny relationship with the omnipotent subject of his drama.
