Shakespeare in Sofia: Robert Wilson stages THE TEMPEST

Robert Wilson has started the final rehearsals for his new theater production in Bulgaria’s capital, The Tempest by William Shakespeare. After King Lear, HAMLET: a monologue, A Winter’s Tale and Shakespeare’s Sonnets, this will be his fifth major staged work by The Bard.

The work is commissioned by the National Theater “Ivan Vazov” in Sofia, where Wilson will make his debut with this production. The Tempest will enter the theater’s regular repertory after the opening on November 18. Ticket sales will start in the next few days. Check back regularly, as more repertory performances will be planned and published in the coming weeks and months, both on our production page, and on the theater’s web site.
