"There was uproar at the Ivan Vazov National Theatre in Bulgaria’s capital city Sofia on November 7 as a horde of ultra-nationalists disrupted the opening of US star John Malkovich’s production of George Bernard Shaw’s stage play Arms and the Man."
I'm ashamed of my birth country and what is happening. How these people defiled the National Theatre last night. This is unprecedented. One of the best actors... if not THE BEST actor in the country... Vladimir Penev... was attacked and beaten by the mob, trying to enter the theatre.
I can't believe I am living in these times.
The man attacked in this video... is the director of the Theatre.
