THE MASTER AND MARGARITA Returns To Seattle

theater simple "breaks and remakes" their award-winning take on Mikhail Bulgakov's satire, The Master and Margarita. Originally staged in 1996, the world has changed, and it's time to see what else has shifted. From sold-out tours in Canada, the US and Australia (Winner - BEST PLAY, Adelaide Fringe), M&M was been theater simple's most requested work, and given the state of global politics, it seemed ripe for re-examination.

THE BASICS: 1932: The Devil comes to Moscow, demonic entourage in tow, to learn if Stalin's politics have actually changed human nature... And to find a hostess for his annual Devil's Ball. This story is tangled up in interesting ways with a re-telling of a fateful meeting with Pontius Pilate.

"theater simple balances the grotesque with the sublimely elegant, juxtaposes absurdity with profundity and makes light of darkness. Superb." The Adelaide Advertiser
