Bulgakov’s satire on stage

Transforming the dog Sharik into a person raises questions that scientific success alone cannot answer. What makes a person human, and where does a creator’s right to change another life end? The announcement describes irony, stage action and the original story’s moral conflict.

The playbill names Pavel Belozyorov, Mikhail Bashkatov, Maria Boltneva and Mikhail Khimichev. Choose the evening for literary theatre with a recognisable story. Check the cast for this performance with the venue.
