Original Playwright - Michael Bulgakov
Synopsis:
This bitingly funny adaptation of Bulgakov's modern Russian classic novel of 1936 was premiered at the Royal National's Cottesloe Theatre in 1991. Set between 1924 and 1925 it is an hilarious send-up of Stanislavsky's famous 'Method' and the acting profession in general and was based on fact - the mutilation of Bulgakov's play Molière for which Bulgakov blamed Stanislavsky. `.. the funniest and cleverest new play I have seen for a very long time.' Financial Times . Sergei Maxudov is reluctantly working as a newspaper man and has written a novel everyone is sure will never pass the censors. In despair, Maxudov is about to commit suicide when he is interrupted by the mysterious Rudolfi, a publisher who wants to buy the novel. But after the novel's first instalment appears in print, Rudolfi unaccountably disappears, leaving Maxudov in the lurch. But Maxudov's bleak literary prospects are rescued once again, when a note is slipped under his door requesting him to come immediately for a talk with Ilchin, the holde

Synopsis:
Keith Dewhurst's re-examination of man and myth is a long way from Camelot in every sense. Focusing on a Britain struggling to discover its national identity in the century following the fall of Rome and the departure of the Roman legions from these shores, Dewhurst offers a theatrical antidote to the romance of Mallory, instead painting a portrait of a cold, dark world where the flawed Artorius tries to do what's right without around table anywhere in sight. Mind you, his moody wife Guenhumara (that's Guinevere to us) does seem to have a hotline to the future via a mobile phone given to her by shape-shifting narrator Merlin, and Tennyson is to be found strolling around in the mists of time.
