The Days Of The Turbins
''The Days of the Turbins'' (russian: Дни Турбиных, translit=Dni Turbinykh) is a four-act play by Mikhail Bulgakov based upon his novel ''The White Guard''. It was written in 1925 and premiered on 5 October 1926 in Moscow Art Theatre (MAT), directed by Konstantin Stanislavsky. In April 1929 the production was cancelled as a result of severe criticism in the Soviet press. On 16 February 1932, resulting from the direct interference of Joseph Stalin, it was re-started and continued until June 1941, to considerable public acclaim. It ran for 987 performances in the course of these ten years. There are three versions of the play's text. The first was written in July–September 1925. The title ''The Days of the Turbins'' was also used for the novel itself, the latter's Paris (1927, 1929, Concorde) edition was titled ''The Days of the Turbins (The White Guard)''. The play's second version (never published in Russian) was translated into German and first came out in Munich ...
