The writer was sharply experiencing the cessation of rehearsals of his “Moliere” (“Basal of the Holy”) on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. We can say that the romance with the theater at Bulgakov was quite sad: almost all of his things were either removed from the repertoire, or were not allowed to the scene for censorship reasons (the exception was the play “Days of the Turbins”, which enjoyed the unchanging success of the audience).
