A Melting Pot of Talents

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 January 2009

Extract

Over the last forty years, Bulgarian drama has displayed a remarkable variety, reflecting recent political changes. Most playwrights write poetry as well as plays, which may account for the metaphorical quality of a great proportion of contemporary Bulgarian drama. Their talents have blossomed in a wealth of productions dealing with topical issues and concerns, deeply rooted in the country's cultural traditions and way of life. In the following, non-exhaustive, survey, we shall try to present that variety through brief vignettes of those playwrights most familiar to a Bulgarian audience.
