After being saved from a suicide attempt by the appearance of a
literary editor, the journalist and failed novelist Sergei Maxudov
has a book suddenly accepted for stage adaptation at a prestigious
venue and finds himself propelled into Moscow's theatrical world.
In a cut-throat environment tainted by Soviet politics, censorship
and egomania - epitomized by the arrogant and tyrannical director
Ivan Vasilyevich - mayhem gradually gives way to absurdity.
Unpublished in Bulgakov's own lifetime, Black Snow is peppered with
darkly comic set pieces and draws on its author's own bitter
experience as a playwright with the Moscow Arts Theatre, showcasing
his inimitable gift for shrewd observation and razor-sharp satire.
