"4 stars! Rare and special... An absurdly fantastic view of Stalin, and it's seriously funny." - The London Times

WHAT:
National Theatre Live continues its third season with John Hodge's blistering new play COLLABORATORS, directed by Nicholas Hytner. Set in 1938 Moscow, COLLABORATORS imagines a lethal cat and mouse game between playwright Mikhail Bulgakov (Jennings) and Joseph Stalin (Beale). National Theatre Live is an initiative by the UK's National Theatre to broadcast live performances onto cinema screens around the world.

WHERE:
In the New York City area, screenings continue at the AMC Empire 25, Brooklyn Academy Of Music (BAM), NYU's Skirball Center, City Cinema 123, Kew Gardens Cinema, Fairfield University (CT), and more. Through a partnership with NCM Fathom, National Theatre Live can be seen on over 300 screens throughout North America.

ABOUT:
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 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.
