"...maliciously inventive...Mr. Burago's production eschews the kind of naturalistic acting that we are accustomed to seeing on American stages. The performances are ripe, antic, and at times enjoyably over-the-top, in keeping with the spirit of Bulgakov's book. It can be described in many ways--satiric, absurdist, fanciful, grotesque, bizarre--but subtle or realistic it definitely, and exuberantly, is not."
