January 9, 2012, Monday - NT Live Filmed Presentation of Collaborators at the Guthrie
Time: 7:30pm
Location: McGuire Proscenium, Guthrie, 818 2nd Street South
The Guthrie Theater presents an NT Live FILMED PRESENTATION of Collaborators, a new play by John Hodge.
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 60th birthday.
Inspired by historical fact, Collaborators embarks on 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.
