'A carnivalesque satire of Soviet life. The Devil, trailing fire, weaves himself out of the shadows and into Moscow one Spring afternoon. Brimming with magic and chaos, full of wonderful characters from witches, poets and Biblical tyrants and a large black cat, to the courageous Margarita, who will do anything to save the imprisoned writer she loves.'
