MANUSCRIPTS DON'T BURN. The writing of The Master and Margarita was a long and tortuous process that occupied Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov for roughly twelve years. In 1929, he filled two fat notebooks with what became the first half of the novel. Then came what Bulgakov called his “year of catastrophe.” His plays The Days of the Turbins and Crimson Island were both banned from the stage; Zoika’s Apartment was removed from the repertoire at the Vaktangov Theatre; his new play Flight, which was already in rehearsal, was also banned; and a vicious campaign was launched against him in the press. In the spring of 1930 he tore the pages from his notebook—ripping them diagonally from top right to bottom left— and fed them to the woodstove. Bulgakov met Elena Sergeevna Shilovskaia in 1932. Both married, they began an affair which ended in a pistol duel between Bulgakov and Elena’s husband. The lovers parted ways, but then met again on the streets of Moscow a year and a half later. The first thing Bulgakov said to her was, “I can’t live without you.” She replied, “Neither can I.” With Elena by his side, Bulgakov returned to his novel with renewed vigor in 1933, rewriting much of it from memory. He finally completed the manuscript a few months before his death in 1940. Still the book was not published until 1968. —FROM LESLEY MILNE’S MIKHAIL BULGAKOV: A CRITICAL BIOGRAPHY
FOLLOW ME, READER! WHO TOLD YOU THAT THERE IS NO TRUE, FAITHFUL, ETERNAL LOVE IN THIS WORLD! MAY THE LIAR'S VILE TONGUE BE CUT OUT! FOLLOW ME, MY READER, AND ME ALONE, AND I WILL SHOW YOU SUCH A LOVE! —MIKHAIL BULGAKOV, THE MASTER AND MARGARITA

UP NEXT AT YALE SCHOOL OF DRAMA DECEMBER 12–18
THE SEAGULL By ANTON CHEKHOV Translated by PAUL SCHMIDT Directed by JESSICA HOLT
A daring new play is performed on the shore of a lake. Its idealistic young author is devastated when his work is mocked by family and friends. Passions and jealousies surge as his beloved gives her heart away to his older rival. With comic brio and keen understanding, The Seagull explores our insatiable human desire to live an extraordinary life. When our dreams—and delusions—are dashed, and all that remains is the excruciating ordinariness of daily living, how do we find the strength to go on?
JANUARY 27–31
DON JUAN By MOLIÈRE Translated by BRENDAN PELSUE Adapted by ANDREJ VISKY,
BRENDAN PELSUE, and SAMANTHA LAZAR Directed by ANDREJ VISKY
Driven by insatiable desire, Don Juan, with his servant Sganarelle, travels the world, seeking pleasure through romantic conquest. Don Juan defies every authority he encounters. No moral code, religious belief, or social institution is safe from his scathing attack. What lies underneath the furious bravado of this man? To whom is Don Juan ultimately issuing his challenge? At the heart of this darkly comic 17th-century play lies a completely modern terror: that there is no God, and no ultimate meaning beyond the appetites of the flesh.
