The White Guard
Howard Davies is quite simply one of the best directors working in theatre today. He is an associate of the National Theatre and regularly directs productions for them. In recent years, some of his most notable productions have been Russian epics. In 2007 he directed a fantastic ensemble cast in the 5 star production ‘Philistines.’ This was an adaptation by Andrew Upton of Gorky’s play. Last year ‘Burnt By The Sun’ was based on one of Russia’s finest films. Now, he turns his attention to another Andrew Upton adaptation. This time it is ‘The White Guard’ by Mikhail Bulgakov.
Mikhail Bulgakov was a literary genius who had the misfortune to live under the totalitarian regime of Stalin after the Russian Revolution went sour.
