Clever, funny, this is Keith Reddin's highly satirical adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's novel, Black Snow. Sergei Maxudov, a proofreader for the Shipping Gazette, has written an awful palimpsest of a novel, entitled Black Snow, and decides to hang himself on account — that is until a strange visitor pounds on his door and offers to publish it. This is Sergei’s introduction to the outrageous world of publishing and from there, to the downward spiral of adapting one’s work for the stage.

Nine actors portray 54 characters, the often absurd, sometimes vicious employees of the famed Moscow Art Theatre, each poised to cut, slice, rip, edit, mutilate, and otherwise butcher his script in this tour-de-force performed at breakneck speed. See for yourself how hard it really is to develop a new play as Mikhail Bulgakov’s Black Snow savages the theatrical world of post-revolutionary Russia.

This is a Tutto Theater presentation of the play in two acts by Keith Reddin, adapted from the novel by Mikhail Bulgakov. Directed by award-winning director, Dustin Wills. (Photo of Dustin directing by Daniel Brock).
