1 In Her Room Anna Bagryana Popov , 2017 single work drama

'It's the 1950s. Bulgaria. Every seventh person is an informer for State Security. Stalin is in power. A woman lives alone. The typewriters of the Secret Services tap-tap-tap away as they record the lives of people. What is true and what is a lie? The camps are hill of those who are deemed enemies, among them, her husband. The woman writes stones. Ogres, princesses, biblical stories. Reality is more frightening than any story. A room of memory, secrets and archives. The door opens. The dust is unsettled for a moment.'

1 Music, Silence and the Single Note in the Creation of Meaning in Theatre Bagryana Popov , 2015 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australasian Drama Studies , October no. 67 2015; (p. 28-48) 'In this article, I would like to talk about sound and silence and the ways in which they create meaning, as part of the fabric of elements in theatre. I will talk about the choices that we, the artists, make in the process in order to articulate the shape and meaning through sound. I argue that music essentially contributes t the shaping of meaning, and that it does this in conversation with the performers - it is relational.' (Author's introduction)
