Extract

The principle of a new professional theatre was decided in Sofia, in 1956:the State Theatre of Satire. Founded in 1957, its aim was to promote comedy and satire. For obvious reasons, party politics could not have allowed its creation earlier in years when satire was not considered serious enough; but in the late 1950s official aesthetics was beginning to crumble.
