A (sort of) Review by the Times
'Theater's Alternative Universe'

"...making the production among the festival’s most winning history lessons.
Bucharest Calling, a drama about young people confronting limited opportunity in the post-Communist world, easily qualifies as another. Written by Peca Stefan and directed by Ana Margineanu (Romanians who are also behind a second offering at the festival, The Sunshine Play), the production makes excellent use of its spare surroundings.
...the bleak theater in which Bucharest is set serves it well, supplementing the play’s mood of despondence and emotional claustrophobia. The actors work simply, with a few chairs and grim images of Bucharest streets projected on a screen behind them.
Bucharest Calling reminds us that the Fringe is international in its scope."
