Master and Margarita production performed in Beltsy

The Moscow Independent Theatre performed its production of master and margarita in Beltsy on July 18. Vladimir Steklov played the part of Woland in it. Such events do not often take place in the provincial town. All tickets for the performance had been sold out and additional seats in the hall were arranged for all those who wanted to see the play.

On June 15, the Russian Center in Beltsy arranged a Day of Mikhail Bulgakov. Despite the fact that students are on summer holidays now, lots of them came to the Russian center to see the play and to share their impression of it.

Those of Beltsy residents who came to see the play staged by Valery Belyakovich took it in different ways. Those who enjoyed it a lot noted that the staging the Master and Margarita is a true challenge but despite that the director managed to follow the plot and the actors had exerted themselves. Sometimes, the play looked like a musical or even a variety. The famous scene of the Ball included lively dances, communication of actors with the audience, and marvelous music. One just felt like joining the actors for dancing.

On the whole, the production differed from what the audience had expected as it only presented some scenes from the novel and a lot of lines were said in the wrong context in comparison with the original version of the novel, which caused the its corruption.
