After Mikhail Bulgakov’s “Theatrical Novel”, no one dared to write as clearly and knowledgeably about the life of the theater. And is it necessary? However, completely different times have come and the time has come to turn to this topic again, and it is not necessary to borrow the plot from the famous writer - everything can be done differently, and the reader can judge whether the author was able to cope with such a task. In this psychological drama with elements of detective and satire, two attitudes to art collided - creative and consumer. There are defenders of morality and those who believe that all means are good to make a profit, but at first it is very difficult to understand who is right and who is wrong. Only the ending of the novel will provide an interim summary. The names and surnames of the characters, as well as most of the events described are fictitious, all coincidences are random.
