Collaborators at Spooky Action Theater

MD Theatre Guide - Recommended

"...As Collaborators opens, a comical Joseph Stalin chases frightened playwright Mikhail Bulgakov around Bulgakov’s apartment. High jinx for Stalin, but a terrifying recurring nightmare for Bulgakov in this play by John Hodge presented by Spooky Action Theater. This opening scene establishes a darkly humorous tone that deepens as the play unfolds. Hodge’s imaginative take on real-life Russian playwright Bulgakov and his fateful task of writing a play about young Stalin is both bitingly funny and terrifying. Director Richard Henrich and his production team highlight these moments of humor and hope at every turn, while slowly building the tension and terror that befell the Soviet Union in the 1930’s."
