The Master and Margarita is called "one of the masterpieces of the 20th century" by The Times of London. Edward Kemp's adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's landmark satirical novel is a phantasmagorical ride through Stalinist Russia. The Master, a playwright trying desperately to get his script about Jesus and Pontius Pilate produced, fights with theatre critics and cultural commissars at every turn. He is driven to a despair so deep that not even his lover, Margarita, can reach him. Into the middle of this bleak picture steps the shabby aristocrat Professor Woland, a specialist in black magic, and his unwholesome entourage (including a talking cat).
