Of Satan and Stalin: How a wild party in Moscow inspired a scene in a novel that became a play by Brendan Kiley

One night in 1935, writer Mikhail Bulgakov went to a wild party at the U.S. ambassador's residence in Moscow. Critics suspect that evening inspired the phantasmagoric scene of Satan's full-moon ball in Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita," which local company theater simple adapted in the 1990s and has now brought back for a run at Theatre Off Jackson.
