Liverpool’s Unity Theatre has joined forces with the city’s Lodestar Theatre to première a new adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov’s scary, comically dark novel The Master and Margarita from October 1-12 at the Hope Place theatre.
This multi-layered story combines the love affair of the century, Satan’s visit to Moscow, the final days of Christ and a fantastical cast of supernatural and historical figures.
Bulgakov’s imagination is brought to life using video, puppetry, magic, animation and performance.
Director Max Rubin said: “It has taken almost two years to bring this new adaptation to the stage. In order to tell the story fully, we have explored ways of integrating new technologies with live performance in order to create something entirely new.”
