A blistering new play from John Hodge, writer of Trainspotting. Moscow in 1938 is a dangerous place to have a sense of humor – even more so a sense of freedom. Novelist 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.
