With each development more sparks fly and the chances of the play being ready to perform recede.Black Snow is a lesser-known work by Bulgakov - author of The Master and Margarita, The White Guard and A Young Doctor's Notebook - but holds its own as an outstanding backstage novel. Anyone remotely interested in the theatre world will love this adaptation.Blending classic literature with modern musical theatre and showcasing some of the most promising new talent in London this theatrical debut is perfect for lovers of musical theatre and/or Russian literature.
