Abstract

performers sitting in front of microphones creating a live 'radio drama' is very distinct, in formal terms, from much of the com pany's other work, which ranges from organized, often highly physical chaos (Bloody Mess, 2004) to lengthy intellec tual meandering and (at least, seeming) improvisation (And on the Thousandth Night, 2000). Well received in Varna, Void Story added to the sense of the festival as a very serious, profes sional, internationally outward-looking prog ramme. Combined with an excellent series of symposia and seminars, the Varna Summer International Theatre Festival deserves to be considered as an important opening event of the European summer festival season.
