Flight

The Civil War is drawing to an end in Russia. The White Army is disintegrating and a wave of refugees is about to descend on Turkey, and then spread across Europe. Bulgakov's play follows the fate of a small group of Russians from the Crimea to Constantinople to Paris. It is a tragic comedy that was never staged during the life of its author due to the opposition of Stalin. "There is no doubt that this is one of the masterpieces of world theatre and in this solid production of a terrific translation it is well worth catching." Peter Scott-Presland reviewing the production at the Jack Studio.
