There are some works that are too good to keep hidden from those that would demean and diminish them. Some works may need to be spirited away in case certain people take offence and see the satire as a personal attack. However those in the very highest of offices do sometimes need reminding that they are they to serve the people, not the other way round. No matter how long it takes to get a novel published or someone to take it on as, what can only be described as riveting, in a theatre setting, at some point the message will get through, such is the fate of Mikhail Bulgakov’s work, The Master and Margarita.
