About Aureliu Manea

Aureliu Manea made his debut as a director with a production of Ibsen's Rosmersholm at the Sibiu Theatre, which stunned Romania's theatrical world with the originality of its staging, and the press hailed him as a unique new talent. Throughout his career, he created a large number of theatre and opera productions, as well as puppet shows, creating a repertoire of both Romanian and foreign plays, some of which had never before been performed in Romania, such as Sophocles's Philoctetes. Manea is considered a Romanian director who revolutionised and reformulated theatre.

Translator: Alistair Ian Blyth is one of the most active translators working from Romanian to English today. A native of Sunderland, England, Blyth attended the universities of Cambridge and Durham, and has resided for many years in Bucharest.
