About The Event
Our recently launched Romanian-American Studio Theater is proud to present, on May 10, the world premiere of ”I Hope I Wouldn’t Meet Myself Today”, a painfully intense, angst-ridded chamber piece based on the novel ”The Appointment” by Nobel Prize winner Herta Müller. Directed and performed with mesmerizing panache by Romanian thespian Simona Măicănescu, the show dwells into the humiliating and suffocating life of a struggling woman in communist Romania.
Also presented at the Václav Havel Library Foundation, as part of the ”Rehearsal for Truth” Theater Festival, on May 11.
