Award-winning young Romanian playwright Peca Stefan presents his latest play Colors in a reading at the Theatre Café Europe 2007 and on live web-cast.
Theatre Café Europe is a platform to new European plays for young audiences. This autumn Theatre Café takes place in four European cities: Talinn, Lille, Amsterdam and London. All readings will be web-cast and it will be possible to watch them live from anywhere in Europe.
Peca Stefan won the Romanian award for best new playwright, dramAcum, in 2002. He is wildely regarded as one of the most innovative, powerful voices in Romanian drama. He studied at New York University and was one of the Royal Court International Playwriting Residents in 2005. His Sunshine Play won the Best Play-Relationship Drama Awards at the London Fringe Report Awards in 2006. He has done readings, workshops and performances of his plays throughout Europe and the US. Currently Peca Stefan has no less than seven productions of his plays in Bucharest: The Sunshine Play, New York [Fuckin' City], Bucharest Calling, I Hate Helen, Station, Colors and Romania 21.
Colors is a rude, wild satire set in New York and Bucharest. A Romanian playwright accused of terrorism, a drug addict coming back from the dead, a retired cop trying to regain his ex-wife's heart and a group of friends going to Eastern Europe to get rich. This extremely funny play mocks those who would mock New Europe.
Colors received the Best New Comedy Play Award at the Festival of Romanian Comedy in 2006.
