Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the reception of Thomas Bernhard’s plays in the Romanian theatre landscape, taking into account the reaction of the press, namely the opinion of the theatre specialists, represented by the reviewers. The examination of the Bernhard-boom-phenomenon starts with the first plays of the Austrian contemporary writer, the few that had been directed before 1989; but the real “boom” is registered only after 2001. It seems that the Romanian theatrical institutions discovered the special aesthetic of Bernhard’s dramatic works, even if quite late, but the number of productions is still increasing, due to the interest of some stage directors and especially to the recent translations.
