scrolling down the wikipedia page for The Master and Margarita and abruptly stopped dead in my tracks

On 25 August 2006, Andrew Lloyd Webber announced intentions to adapt the novel as a stage musical or opera. In 2007, it was reported by Stage that he had abandoned that work.

you know the tweet about 'I don't believe in the monarchy but I love it when the chosen king claims his divine sword' well I think Naomi Mitchison is like that but it's 'I love it when the chosen king dies sacrificially to make the crops grow. especially when the crop is metaphorically socialism'
