The stage interpretation of Bulgakov's autobiographical novel is directed by Roman Gabriya. In his unfinished "Theatrical Novel," Mikhail Bulgakov described the life of the Moscow Art Theatre (MXAT) as a separate organism. The basis of the novel was the real story of the production of his "Days of the Turbins." Director Roman Gabriya aimed to tell about the formation of Russian psychological theatre, blending drama and satire, real historical events and fiction in his play. The production also incorporates motifs from Bulgakov's works "The White Guard" and "Days of the Turbins." Audiences will immerse themselves in the life of the theatrical backstage with its secrets, intrigues, and passions, and will walk a difficult path alongside the main character of the novel - playwright Maksudov, who will do everything possible and impossible for his play to finally see the stage.
