Collaborators: LIVE BROADCAST from London’s National Theatre

'Killing my enemies is easy. The challenge is to change the way they think, to control their minds.'

Our next LIVE BROADCAST, is a new play by John Hodge (screenwriter of Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, The Beach). Collaborators takes place in the Moscow of 1938, a dangerous place to have a sense of humour; even more so a sense of freedom. Playwright Mikhail Bulgakov, living among dissidents, stalked by secret police, has both. Then he is offered a poisoned chalice: a commission to write a play about Stalin to celebrate his sixtieth birthday. Inspired by historical fact, the play centres on an imaginary encounter between Bulgakov and Joseph Stalin, 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.

Alex Jennings (The Habit of Art) will play Bulgakov and Simon Russell Beale (London Assurance) will play Stalin. Nicholas Hytner directs.

Collaborators is broadcast on 1 December 2011 at 7.45 p.m at Munich’s “CINEMA” Filmtheater, Nymphenburger Straße 31, 80335 München. Online reservations are being taken.

The Press say...

‘Rare and special… An absurdly fantastic view of Stalin, and it’s seriously funny.’ The Times

‘Dream casting of Alex Jennings as Bulgakov and Simon Russell Beale as Stalin... A truly tremendous double act which thrills, chills and makes you laugh out loud - even though you know you shouldn't.’ Daily Telegraph

‘Collaborators is fresh and energetic, with a thick, throbbing vein of grotesque humour.’ Evening Standard

The play is transmitted by satellite LIVE from London's National Theatre in High Definition as part of our third National Theatre Live season. Other plays in this season include Travelling Light, The Comedy of Errors and She Stoops to Conquer.
