The Limits of the Romanian Drama And How to Go Beyond Them

Summary/Abstract: During the Communist period the limits of Romanian drama were settled by The Party. After the Revolution that had taken place in December 1989, The Romanian drama underwent a whole process of changing. The Romanian playwrights had been used to censorship for decades, but starting with the 90s they begun to exert one of the rights that had been denied to them – the right to express themselves freely. We would deal with three famous playwrights – one who had been appreciated before the 90s and was still appreciated after the 90s, one who had been censored in the 80s and that managed to express himself freely in the 90s, and one modern author. The 90s were a period dominated by confusion with the playwrights and the drama promotors making efforts to adapt themselves to the new reality by using their newly – acquiredright to express themselves freely. If “freedom” is a subjective matter and means the right to choose, then “the limits” must be settled by each and every artist.
